I’m no expert but I read thousands of these threads every month all asking the same questions. Hopefully the experts will add to the commentary section below and feel free to correct me on anything I may say in the video. Thanks

Thanks EDIT: I just realized I made a mistake in the video Power Steering/ATF has a much lower viscosity than engine oil when it leaks. So a Power Steering/ATF leak will be red, runny and tend to leak on the ground and spread out in a thin layer. It will also have a strong “machine/gear oil smell to it”. Where as regular oil will leak in droplets and pool in thick coagulated clumps with not much spreading out.
