Or maybe power steering oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oil level needs to be at the bottom of that hole and no more. I would of thought your tans oil would be darker then that, more like a dark red. A leak that big would be pretty evident IMO. It looks like fresh engine oil to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by Ford Service Mechanic that power steering leaks from the reservoir are common in these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
