Not sure what this is wondering if it's transmission oil or engine oil and just wondering where and how do I check the transmission oil fluids thanks

Still haven't changed the oil yet its 120000k and my tuner said I didn't need to change oils plus it wouldn't be that clean? Or maybe power steering oil?

I haven't checked the oil level in my trany yet, but I would start with jacking the car up and there should be a plug about half way up the gear box in one side. Oil level needs to be at the bottom of that hole and no more.

I would of thought your tans oil would be darker then that, more like a dark red.

A leak that big would be pretty evident IMO.

It looks like fresh engine oil to me.

Engine oil line is ok and power steering oil looks good too the only colour oil I know I could be is engine oil and power steering oil that it but I'll have to get it to a machanic ASAP to actually find out what it is

It looks like dirty water to me. Maybe from the aircon.

Jack it up and have a look underneath for where it is leaking from.

Ahh. I was told by Ford Service Mechanic that power steering leaks from the reservoir are common in these.
