Leaking fluids...

Whats the deal with the fluid that leaks out of the filler cap right above the air box? It says hydraulic oil only or something... I don't have my car with me otherwise I'd do look. I was at the track yesterday with 3 other pcars and mine and another turbo both had fluids leaking badly out of that filler cap. Anyone know?

Yes that's your hydraulic fluid, Pentosin. Keep it off your paint! It's a remarkable paint stripper and quite nasty stuff.

Yes it's power steering fluid and it shouldn't be leaking....

I would imagine it was overfilled. If you check your owners manual it will give you the procedure to check the level. Page 251 "check level with engine stopped and cold" level should be below the cold marking on the dipstick.....
