Sup /o/
I seem to be leaking/burning oil on my 92 pony. This picture is from the back of the front bumper. What the hell even passes oil through there?
I post here because as I was driving home just now I smelled something burning. I was aware of this leak and thought it to be power steering which I haven't changed in a while. But the burning smell is new, and now I leak a bit more.
I just did my oil change 2 weeks ago.
And this which its dripping is black. I'll post a pic in second post.
Any ideas?
I'm fairly new to this whole car thing to be completely honest.

Give us more pics.
if its black its probably oil. does it smell like oil?
try and find where its coming from
Just because that's where the oil ends up doesn't mean that's where it's coming from. Just follow the trail and try to find where it's coming from.. it could be all the way at the top.
My guess is a main seal, but impossible to know from that picture.
Here's oil that dripped.
My friend who has an 89 and knows quite a bit about them said he's not sure oil even runs to where its dripping.

Its better to use paper. Check fluid colour to find what it is afterwards.

The only oils that are up front like that are the trans cooler lines going into the left side radiator tank just above the lower radiator hose if the car is an automatic and the power steering cooler which is just a loop of steel line sandwiched between the A/C condenser and radiator. I did have a P/S cooler loop rust out on me once so it's possible.
Of course neither of those should be black so I'm thinking what you're seeing on the ground is engine oil from somewhere further back, like from a drain plug, and you're seeing this crap off the radiator support which is something else entirely.
