I seem to have a small leak from the middle (under side) of my new tamora, it's a pink fluid not quite as thick as oil. Any one got any ideas?

I don't have any ramps so struggling to have a good look.

Thanks,
Simon

Most likely power steering fluid. Alternative is antifreeze but that is much thinner.

middle ?

At the front - antifreeze. Have any levels dropped is really your first port-of-call - easier to check engine ancillaries?

At the middle (front/rear) ATF from the gearbox. Not so easy to check as you will have to raise the side - safety first if you haven't done it before and use axle stands and don't rely solely on the jack.

It approximately between the seats if that makes sense....

I'll have a poke around tomorrow and see if any levels are low.

Thanks,

Factory gearbox fluid is Automatict Transmission Fluid, same as power steer fluid, pinkish red colour of oily consistency
