Default took pics of the leak i found under my car today...

my car had been sitting in my garage since wednesay afternoon after its trip home from the shop where h&r ultras were installed.

on wednesday i put my chipped ecu back in, and had the suspension installed. the suspension was entirely to low at first, so maybe one of the mechanics hit something when they gave it a test drive at 23"? it's at 24.5 now, and i didnt hit anything on the way home. (excuse the dirty garage floor)

The leak has no noticeable smell

that's a pic of where the leak came from

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/83125/leak_closeup.jpg">

thats a closeup of the leak. i also smeared some of it on a piece of white paper so you could see it better. The green spots are actually grime from the garage floor, not a green liquid like i originally thought.

Default Hmm, same color as my leak, but mine's not leaking nearly so much, or nearly so close to the engine.

Still stumped. I gotta get home from this freaking trip so I can get under there and get a closer look...

Default AC oil usually has a UV dye in it, and it's light green under visible light.

Got a UV light somewhere? Shine it on the stuff and see if it fluoresces.
