Hey guys! This will kinda count as my intro post too.
I bought my 01 about 3 months ago with 97k on the clock. Since then it's made it over 100k and in tune I've changed the timing belt, water pump, valve cover gaskets, replaced leaky coolant hoses etc. I knew it would have issues but this isn't my first subaru rodeo. These are the only cars I've ever owned starting with an 08 impreza 2.5i then a 2004 outback sport. I know my way around a wrench and a subie, granted a lot of the information for my outback came from this site which I thank all of you for.
Now for the issue at hand:
I've been having a leak under my car for the longest time now right below my rotting front crossmember. I finally decided to look at to figure out where the leak was coming from. I figures it was part of the inner tie rod. However I'm not sure can these leak power steering fluid or do they leak just the grease that is inside of them? I've googled, looked through the site but nothing really to the tune of where my leak is from (maybe worked the search wrong) I have included pictures to make this easier. Also this is only on my driver side the passenger side is dry as a bone.
Thank you for your time guys!!
