Here are the pics, it is red and oily, like ps fluid, I dunno what lines run through here but there is a black plug that is leaking, look at pics below, how can I fix this and what is it? Thanks guys.

Well I am at work now, and I doubt it is tranny fluid as it doesn't smell. No leaks in the engine bay got all those worked out completely. It doesn't smell sweet like coolant and my radiator is full. It is on the right side in front of the rear tire as you can see in the first pic it is directly above the oil filter in the picture. It is not dripping down towards that spot then falling to the ground, it is coming out of a plastic black plug that is where you see the drips. Why would my ps fluid be leaking here? My ps reservoir is full btw. Also I am 5 speed, so it isn't auto tranny fluid. It is oily same texture as ps fluid.

Thanks guys hopefully you can give me some insight as to how to fix this so I can fix it when I get home from work.

You have a water leak in your targa, it's dripping down to the bottom of your car and dripping out the rubber plug that is suppose to be unplugged to let water out if your car ever gets flooded. Or someone dumped a lot of soda in your back seat floor......

Turkish: If you have a PWR Steer leak up the front it can run down into the chassis rail then when you jack the front of the car up gravity does the rest!

One of my coolant lines from my new boss turbo was leaking like made and I lost a shit load of coolant, this was with the car off, could it have traveled from the bay, turbo area to the inside of that rail and to that plug? Only thing is it isn't coolant its damn oily! I thought I'd be driving her today

Also I didn't have my ps reservoir attatched bt accident and was cranking to get the oil and coolant flowing and a bunch shot out the lines, I didn't think that much but could that be it?

Sounds like what is going on, I will pull the plug when I get home and finish burping the system. Thanks guys.

It was done leaking when I got home, pulled the plug out anyways. Just seems the ps fluid I spilled made its way down there through the rail.
