But over the past week it has gotten increasing worse. I looked under the hood today and found the spot where it is leaking from. I took pictures and was curious if anyone can tell me what the area is? I am going to take it to a mechanic but would like some sort of idea of what is going on. It also started smelling of burnt maple syrup the past week as well.

That's grease being slung out from a spinning C/V joint with a leaking boot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. imayer New User Nov 23, 2013, 5:09 PM Post #3 of 4 (1623 views) Re: Coolant Leak 01 Subaru Legacy Sign In Sorry I guess my pictures aren't really clear. The liquid that was leaking from the area was green so I assumed that it was coolant. And the fluid that was on the ground was coolant. Does coolant travel anywhere near that area? Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 23, 2013, 5:13 PM Post #4 of 4 (1621 views) Re: Coolant Leak 01 Subaru Legacy Sign In That is the transmission area. There is no coolant in the immediate area so it has to be running down from something above. You need to pressure test the coolant system and follow the leak to it's source. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
