Seems to me we gots two questions: 1) where is is coming from? and
2) what is it? #1 should answer #2, but not necessarily.<br>
<br>
If we rule out the steering box we can go from there (should take
all of 3 minutes). If he's got oil in his coolant he's got a
potentially major problem; short of a ruptured intake hose or
radiator tank--which should be obvious--I can't see how you get
fluid all over the steering box (a leaky shock will greasify
everything in its vicinity).<br>
