Dear All,
   I'm enjoying my AK1103 a lot in these days...... but I notice a lot of oil drops on the floor.
   Looking at the bottom of the car I see that the oil is on the FRONT RIGHT side of the car..... (in front of the engine) and it drops from the FRAME.
   No oil on the engine.....
   DO you have any idea?
   Thanks

Oil pan? Rank and pinion ?

oil cooler /oil cooler pipes?
   
   Have you checked its engine oil?

   Maybe rank and pinion
   The oil can not come from the oil pan since it drops in front of it....

   It looks like engine oil..... What else could be there?

I would have thought the rack and pinion was grease but not 100% sure. Oil coolor pipe will run forward to cooler in nosecone.
   
   Oil coolers are often thermostatic and only open when oil is hot so perhaps with summer weather your cooler lines have a leak.
