    When my Maverick is running, it will drip from the back-driver's side of the engine compartment. It looks like it's "watery" oil... I thought it was p/s fluid - as that went out last week. Now I'm not sure what it could be...
    I'm getting nervous!

    Any ideas what it might be?

    Could be power steering fluid if used that instead of Type F ATF before the power steering went out. Only real way to find out is crawl under the car and see where it is coming from. Do you have A/C?

    Yes the car does have a/c...

    I guess I'll fiddle with it later this week and see if I can figure out
    what it is - just hope it's nothing major.

    Fingers crossed.........
