    Fluid leak front driver's side wheel well

    Checked all my hoses that I can see but don't see anything. Fluid feels oily but less viscous than motor oil but more than brake fluid. Can't detect any odor but it's allergy season, I can't smell anything. The color is a bit darker than motor oil. Brakes feel fine, firm pedal with little...

    The Case of the Dangling Hood Latch Rod
