    Not a fair offer. Learned as a homeowner, too, what starts as a drip can become a leak...

    Must be so clean because of all the leaking keeping the underside protected. Or its because they live in California

    Yes. Clean undercarriage. California car. Thanks for making her sound pretty, but I'm worried she's going to bleed me dry. Leak is the wrong wording, sorry. It's a drip...can anyone point out wth that oily drip is coming from?

    Not really. You need to get under the car and with a light, start hunting and tracing it back to the source.

    Honestly, it kind of looks like water/oil. Which may be from the AC unit? Which would be not an issue in my book, especially that you know the valve gaskets are leaky.

    Did you smell it? Rub it with your fingers? You're going to have to get dirty with this car.
