Have replaced the heater core recently (last week) because of leak, car still leaking fluid, looks black & is greasy. Not sure if its oil. Cannot find where or what it is. Did an oil change back in november and when did oil change there was hardly any oil in van. O rings were checked and are fine. Since then its almost like an aerosol can spray sound coming from under the drivers side. Any ideas on what it may be leaking or why? Any help is needed thank you!

They engine is pretty clean, i'm thinking that the switch must be lower? Cause I would assume that they would have seen it (leak) when they took out the heater core. The driver's side floor is soaked mostly over near the door edge. Under carriage is in great shape no rust! Pays for the under carriage wash at the car wash I guess. I'm seeing a spot of wetness on the side of the center column thing near the base near the gas pedal. Again assuming that its leaking (spraying) and then just trickling down to puddle on the driver floor. Thanks again!
