There seems to be a fluid (Oil?) leaking. it is leaking directly on top of the exhaust just after the manifold. its red so i assumed transmission fluid but it appears to be coming from the rubber seals around the steering arms. as it hits the exhaust pipe it creates smoke and a smell. where could this fluid be coming from??
