Alright I think it's oil...99% sure it's oil. I have never seen it leak from this location though.
I crawl under the from of my 88, auto, 4.0L with my head right under the power steering resevor. Shine the flash light up onto the hose that feeds coolant into the water pump. The oil looks to be seeping down that hose and dripping onto the front driverside corner of the oil pan. From there it blow back on everything.
I just replace the valve cover gasket...what else could be leaking on that side?
Any way to tell oil from dirty tranny fliud. I guess it could be form the leaky coolant line in that same area...but it sure looks like motor oil. The driverside corner of the oil p[an is drenched along with everything else on the left side
