Alright, I thought that this reddish oil dripping was from my power steering pump, because the fluid looks exactly the same that is in my power steering reservoir, but the power steering level in the reservoir is fine and it doesn't seem like I've lost any oil. Upon getting under the car, I noticed that it was coming from this thing that looked like a pump and had attached to it one of the lowest belt pulleys that powers the fan. All that I could read on it was "calsonic", and I could see that there was some red oil around a bolt, and around an area where it looks like 2 parts of this calsonic component bolted together with a gasket. First of all...what the heck is this calsonic thing? I'ts about the size of 2 clenched fists put together, and it has a pulley screwed into the end of it closest to the bumper,and I think this is one of the fan pulleys...it seems like this "calsonic thing" is directly attached to the engine, but my engine oil is a dark brownish color, not reddish. So, what is this, how should I remedy this, and how much would it cost? If you get under the car, you can see this thing through a large hole in the plastic skidplate under the car...it's mounted on the drivers side, in front of the axels.., I don't want to walk into a nissan dealership and ask them about it and then come out having to replace my whole power steering system.....and be screwed out of my minimal cash. Please help! thanks in advance
