Hey guys i tried to search for somethihg similar but had no luck so i figured i would try here. I have an 09' SS Panel and yes im a dummy, i blew the EPS Fuse, but it was weird cuz evwn though it was blown, i still had power steering. I dont drive it yet as i just got the car from my uncle that passed away so its just parked in my driveway. But i start it every couple days and when i started it this past weekend, i noticed this clear pinkish oily fluid started to drip pretty bad out of the drivers side underneath the front of the car. Is this a common problem? Anyone have an idea what it could be? Thanks in advance for your help guys!!

 

If you had PS you did not blow the fuse.

If your radiator is filled with Dex-Cool (orange) the only thing pink is transmission fluid. The ATF cooler lines enter the driver side of the radiator.

 

Hmmm
Pink fluid usually meant that auto trans fluid and water (coolant) had mixed together. But that was back in my younger years and turning wrenches for a living.
My advice is to take a look and see where it's coming from.........then go from there.

 

First question: Is it an automatic transmission?

 

Its auto brother

 

Yup, probably the lines or seals going to the rad then, should be able to see the source of the leak from the top.

 

If it is transmission fluid and since you dont know how much has leaked out, it would be highly advisable to top of the transmission fluid. BTW this is kind of a pain on HHR's.

 

 

Well thats the thing, its not straight tranny fluid.. it is like watery... And coolant cant mix with tranny fluid from the tranny itself, so its coolant from the tranny cooler not the actual tranny is that correct? And it leaks from the lines going into the rad... I have.located them and that it the culprit. And now tonight my RPD stopped working... I was wiring up a boost guage and shorted a wire not sure which one it was but it blew the fuse in my dimmer ligts so i know it had to do with the dimmer wire obviously and one or more of the other 3 wires left lol... So i fixed the dimming pronlem and now my TPD and DIC dont work... Just my luck

 

If water is mixing with ATF there is a hole in the ATF cooler. You need a new radiator.
