These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does oil run through or to the front of the car? I have a good size drip from the front of the car, just noticed it on the garage floor. THe spot is on the right around the front axle area. What could it be? I'm hoping its the stupid jag that was parked there when the p-car was in the shop.. keeping my fingers crossed.

POST 2Original post

Leaking strut? Or maybe the FMS, front main seal, just kidding.

POST 3Original post

If it is kind of reddish in color then it is likely the steering rack or one of the hoses. Check your power steering fluid level (in the engine compartment).
