Got home today from some shopping and noticed some oil on the side of my car...??
Popped the hood and saw oil spray around the power steering bottle....kinda all around that area and on the inner fender.
Examined all the hoses...all dry...Engine is all dry as well.

The only wet spot (instead of spray/droplets) was at the bottom of the right engine mount.

Does the mount contain enough fluid to leak out and blow around inside the engine and out through my fender???

I poked my nose around everywhere...and it\'s not from the engine. And my P.S fluid is fine.

Any thoughts? (besides saying \"take it to the dealer\"...which I will be for warrenty)

Take it to the dealer!

There must be a significant amount hydraulic oil in the mount b/c it covered a large area behind the passenger side brake assembly and splash sheild.

Get it replaced before you start hearing the banging noise.

The oil went down the side of my car as well...a light spray. I used a degreaser to remove it...most of it. It won\'t come off my side mouldings or my front bumper. The oil (fluid) stain the plastic......
I wonder if these will be replaced as well under warrenty?

Hard to say it will be up to the dealership to decide that.
