O
k have drips that originate on the passenger side in front of fire wall collecting on the pan area. Ruled out , it’s not gas, and not brake fluid. I looked down the tunnel and it was bone dry. Brake fluid reservoir, lines, and master cylinder is completely dry!
I see oil on the steering stabilizer passenger side end. Above it, it’s dry. I’ve wiped off the drips and they came back. The stabilizer doesn’t have that much oil in it! The trunk area is dry with no spills. There is no gas smell!. And never have a heater in it.
I will add video and pictures shortly.
Hey guys I’m loosing sleep, maybe overthinking it.. oh by the way it’s not blinker fluid. lol

The only thing important up there is gas and brake fluid.
Oil is like a blood - a little looks like alot. Are you sure it is not the steering stabilizer? _________________ - 1973 Thing, some LandCruisers and an old Ambulance |

Weeping fuel hose? Looks original. Sometimes an old hose can leak right through the hose, like it will sort of ooze out through the hose.
Also - have a close look at your steering coupling, looks bad in one of the photos. _________________ SL |
