hello
just seeing if someone out there could help me to diagnose a leak, i dont have money for a mechanic and am a DIY kinda guy. Just bought a 90 integra and while i was changing the front right wheel studs i noticed red fluid forming drips around a few bolts directly behind the wheel well, also a pretty dirty looking line attaching close to said bolts, all in all trying to get this puppy running good and clean ya know ? any feed back is appreciated. thank you for your time.

Red fluid is usually transmission fluid. Sounds like its the rear main seal. I could be wrong though.

do you know what the line is called possibly? and the rear main seal is the crankshaft seal right?

The line is maybe the shift linkage or whatever its called. I'm not entirely sure what else the rear main seal is called. I'm just going off of what people have previously dealt with. I would clean everything off really good under there and see what else is going on. I wish I could help more. More knowledgable people are usually away on the weekends or on late at night.

The line is your shift linkage, there's no fluid in that, it's just a steal rod.

You need to clean ALL of that fluid off if you want to figure out where its leaking from, it's a mess right now.

It could just be a valve cover gasket, or the distributor O-ring, or cam seal; any oil leaking from the top of the motor will run down, and while driving forward will cause it to be slung to the back.

But if the fluid is red it's probably transmission fluid, it looks like an auto.

Seriously, the BMWs and Mercedes I had were fantastic, granted maintenance was more money, it was worth it when I could afford it. The ride, dynamics, ergonomics, were all 10x better than the Japanese cars that I've had since.
