Power steering or PDCC leak? (958)
I was fixing a clogged AC drain and noticed oily drops on gearbox and diff. It was too thin for transmission oil, so I decided to check power steering fluid.
I found there are two identical tanks on the right side - as I understand one is for power steering and the other is for PDCC (but I'm not sure). Which is which?
The one that's forward and right is way below min level but not dry. So it looks like whatever is connected to the rightmost tank is leaking, strangely so far back (almost near B-pillar).
There is nothing on the floor in the garage and two months ago nothing was wrong when I took it for an oil change, so this must be new.
