Default What Is this???

ok, every now and then there's a drop of something red, not oily at all, not like the coolant red but like blood??? i dont think our cars have a fluid thats that color??? anyone know? i've checked every fluid in the car and everything is fine! wtf? ohh and i got a glimpse once of where it was leaking from, i took the bottom splash guard off and it was drop about to drip from like the sway bar... aggghhhhh i'm gonna go crazy if something breaks again!

well sit there with your car started. tap the gas and rev it to 2k and then let off. do that a few times and see if your car rocks like a ****. i know my mounts are bad by that.

PS fluid is green.
Auto tranny fluid is gold.
Only red fluid is coolant.
