Hello,

I think it is transmission oil that is located under the front of the van on
the driver's side.
I have 66 000km and never replaced the transmission oil since the van was
new.

Is it the cause that the box located where I said is leaking, like it is all
wet of oil, but not
really leaking like a lot.  Just a small drop of oil on my garage.

It is fustrating, now that my van is not under warranty any more (+60 000km)

Thanks.

These minivans have a history of oil leakage due to bad head gasket. If you
have the 2.4L engine, look at the back of the engine (driver side) and feel
if it is oily. If yes, you have a head gasket leak and it will drip oil very
slowly.

Tranny fluid is red in color, so to determine if it is engine oil or tranny
fluid, place a plastic sheet under the van overnight and check??

I had a bad experience with my 2000 Caravan, Turn out to be the loose hose
clamps on the transmission cooler on the radiator.
SOB to get at. Seems it's quite common.

Also had this problem on the wife's 2003 Stratus...leaking tranny cooler hose
clamps.  Dealer fixed it.

The solenoid box on the front of the transmission is a very common leak
source.
