Sticky Leak?

[serial_thrilla]

Riddle: What's sticky, gooey, clear and odourless?

I've no idea but its dripping outta my car!! Anyone have any ideas what it could be? It seems to be accumulating under the oil pan. It's not any conventional car fluid that i can think of e.g. oil, transmission fluid brake fluid etc. and it doesn't drip constantly. Just today i noticed a couple of spots on the garage floor.

check your front castor rod bushes. run from front of car (from the subframe) back to lower suspension arm, approx. 60-70 mm dia.

if they are the cause they will be wet with the silicone that is leaking out of them. p.s. the rear bushes(4 of them) that connect the subframe to the chassis also contain silicone as well as the bushes that hold the rear dif in the subframe ( just in case you back the car into your garage occasionally).

not to expensive to replace the castor rod bushes, normally under $200 au a pair.

Is there a cute little S2000 or MX5 that keeps driving past it? It might be getting excited.
