I assume engine oil is going low because of it all leaking out? ATF is reddish, but not real strong bright red. Anti-freeze smells so much different than oil so you'd know that. Power steering fluid is up there too, there's a cooler that looks like a loop of tube in front of the radiator. AC refrigerant is under pressure & it leaks out like a cloud of vapor. _____________________________ '03 Accord & '07 Civic '01 Saab 9³ & '05 9²x (in reply to WheelBrokerAng) Post #: 3

It's made out of aluminum so you'll have to find someone who can weld that, it might be cheaper than replacing the pan, not sure. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008!
