DPS oil leak?

[operator64]

while installing my bajaron sway bar I noticed oil on the frame upon further investigation I found it is coming form from the bottom of the DPS output shaft and leaking onto the pitman arm and then to the frame it is not a constant drip more of a small seep enough to make a mess under the :spyder2: but nothing on the garage floor yet.

Not likely originating there, but anything is possible. Time to see your dealer in any case.

I was a bit puzzled by it, I will schedule my 600 Mile service on Monday i'll just add that to my list of things to have them check. I am happy as heck with the :spyder2: so glad I finally made the decision to buy it.

i would venture to say its oil from the air box slowly working down when the engine get up to temp. It will eventually leak on the ground but with all the plastic underneath it may take a while. I had this happen on my old RS. I took panels off checked air filter/ box then got engine degreaser sprayed all over & took to car wash. Just my 2 cents worth fwiw.

I tend to agree...most likely source.I

Have to agree..!!

have seen most airbox leaks coming off the forward section of the box. This would make it leak above the dps unit or pretty close. We used to use arid extra dry which dries to a white powder and made oil leaks very visible..make sure you check your oil level now and after your service to make sure it is not over filled..!!:thumbup:
