Front drivers side fluid leak...

Heya,
I am new here, so forgive me if I leave out something obvious![Smile](https://landroverforums.com/forum/images/smilies/H5uKDcM.png)
I have a 2002 Disco 2 SE, I am noticing a fluid leak that appears near the front drivers side wheel. It seems like it is oil, but i have constantly checked the oil level and all is well. I noticed that the power steering reservoir as well as the brake fluid reservoir are near there. I have not noticed a drop in coolant and the truck runs fine. I have heard that if you put synthetic motor oil in a truck that has previously only used non-synthetic oil that it will leak, is this BS? Any input or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Two problems, if it is green, you have the wrong coolant in it, should be Dexcool, kind of a pinkish orange. This needs to be addressed ASAP.
Tonight when the engine is cold, or in the morning, you need to fill the coolant bottle to the lid or better yet bleed the system, drive it as little as possible and see a mechanic first thing Monday morning, NO EXCEPTIONS.

Actually my coolant is orangeish color, and my steering fluid is greenish (CHF). I do plan to take it to my friends shop either way. The thing runs like a dream and handles fine as well.
