I have a leak that I think is coolant (my coolant is low and the liquid looks orange). it’s hard to see from this picture, but it almost looks as if there is a leak at the gasket(?) that joins the bottom metal plate to the bottom of the engine. I just had the thermostat and a coolant hose at the top of the engine replaced, but I don’t see any leaks at the top.
I'd recommend renting a pressure tester kit from auto zone or oreilly. Super easy to use, and simulates pressure as if the motor is running. Really easy to spot leaks that way.
I cleaned everything and drove it yesterday. The bottom still looks clean and doesn’t seem to be leaking much. There are a couple drops but I think that’s a power steering fluid leak I know about already. I guess I’ll watch it.
I think we had the exact same issue. My TB was leaking and mixing with surface oil. It made it seem like there were 2 leaks but I could never find the second leak. The coolant was dripping down the back and getting everywhere The TB hose was going out. I tightened it up and it stopped it but it came back and needed a replacement. replaced it and no more issues. It will drip all over your CPS.I sprayed brake cleaning fluid all over to clean up the mix.No more issues from it. .
