There is an enormous amount of oil or some kind of lubricant coming from the A pillar to the back exhaust. I asked the guy what it was and he just shook his head. The mechanic allowed me to go underneath the car (really against their rules) and 4 other mechanics checked the car.

*The power steering hose is clean of debris or oil leak.

* No leak from the transmission
* No oil leak from the oil pan.
* No leak from both engine mount.
* The car under carriage is clean.| No other fluid is visible from anywhere.

They told me that it is my undercoat spray melting from the heat. ??????

Any Idea. PICS are not that great. Used my Treo for the snap shot.

Please advise.<ul><li><a href="http://pictures.sprintpcs.com/share.do?invite=KE9r49hw755fO5Iz780a&amp;shareName =MMS&amp;messageState=RETRIEVED">SLIDE SHOW</a></li></ul>

Is it the wax the same they use to rust proof the interior of doors and other dead spaces ?

Yup. Not a problem.

prior to shipping and that when they get here not all the coating gets blasted off.

I wouldn't worry about it.
