Hello all! First of all, I'd like to say that I've been visiting this site for a few years now, but I didn't need to join until now. This site is so useful that every question that I've had a question , I found that it was already answered in the forums or in the archives. I just noticed a problem that I've never seen posted here before.

The other day, I was checking my air filter and I noticed that there was a small pool of red fluid (ATX fluid?) laying on the bottom of the air filter compartment. Could excess fluid overflow there when the tranny heats up? Or is the red fluid something else?

Is this a major problem? The engine and the tranny seem to be working just fine.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!
