What am I pointing at in this pic?

No fluid touching the dip stick, need to know what to add.

Also is there an o2 sensor in here somewhere, and if so where's it at from my finger. I have a check engine light on, and am trying to get the fluids and some of the sensors replaced before I take it somewhere, this is a 96 pathfinder, had been sitting up 2yrs or so.

its not brakes, engine oil, transmission fluid or washer fluid....

im guessing blinker fluid

and by blinker fluid, i mean power steering

clutch fluid??? is it manual?

[fraustypath]

yeah manual, clutch fluid is possibly it, it's not labeled is why I ask, and I just got it so don't know anything about it

[fraustypath]

Anyone else? power steering or transmission fluid, need to know what to add. Can't believe it's not labeled with something, label probably rubbed off

[pathfinder9035]

im really positive that is the clutch fluid man because my pathy has one like that and my other friends doesn't. SO im sure it is. Punch me if im wrong. and i am guessing u have the 3.3 liter and the auto version doesnt have canister.

I have an automatic QX4, 2000, and that is the power steering fluid. I just topped it up. Mine was low as well.

Well it's a 96 manual and 2 different answers still I want to say clutch fluid also, but clutch and steering look a lot a like. I will look and see if I can find a steering fluid canister.

You are correct, the power steering reservoir, I hope he didnt put brake fluid in there. you should be able to look off the canister and see the lines that connect it to the power steering pump. As for your 02 sensors(yes plural) they are located on the underside in the manifold and in the exhaust pipe itself.

thanks, i haven't touched anything yet, where do I add clutch fluid?

[Nitewulf]

If your clutch slave cylinder is working properly, do not mess with it. Common mistakes are when people throw brake fluid, antifreeze, and transmission fluid in without finding out why it is low.

Brakes are a closed system, the fluid gets low, you need new brake pads/shoes, or you have a leak in the system. Antifreeze is a semi-closed system, if you are adding coolant/water daily, weekly, or even monthly, there is a problem.Transmission is the same way. Find out why you are low, not just that you are low.

the power steering reservoir is on the left side in a white canister.

it is for power steering. You may add any ATF (red colored) fluid, if it is missing. White square canister, behind the powersteering canister, is for brakes. For manual clutch equipped ones, the canister shape is different. it is cylindrical.
