install of headers uppipe downpipe and turbo inlet. i guess i didnt notice when i left the shop that there was a puddle of sometype of oil under the turbo inlet. i got home admiring the work when i noticed it. i thought it was not cleaned up from the install so i wiped it clean. i drove to the carwash and the puddle was back and dripping close to the crank pulley. what is that oil??? is it power steering fluid or engine oil?????? im worried now.

if its red (ATF) then its power sterring fluid. if its oil, you most likely have a leaking head gasket. at my previous job I saw about 3-4 with the same symptoms and we replaced the head gaskets and the problem was solved.
