I have a question to ask it is leaking something the lady said power steering fluid =/ I just want to make sure that it isn't oil I need the car for about a year before i change the engine for the sr20 swap how can i tell if the fluid is oil or power steering fluid, if it is the power fluid I can drive without power steering right?

P/S fluid is red in color and so is A/F so it is important to have a general area as to where the leak is coming from under the car. Oil can sometime look red when it thins out. As demcj stated where and what color is important to diag.
