Unknown leak behind driver side wheel, what is this? Is it easy to fix??
Pretty new with this stuff still, but i wanna try to fix this myself if possible..
Only work I have done is replacing a master and slave clutch cylinder, replaced fuel filter and oil change + oil filter.. all easy stuff... but with not much experience will it be difficult for me to fix this myself? It's pretty bad idk what this is but it leaks all the way down and on to my oil pan so i wanna fix it. Is this a control arm? I really don't know and feel stupid even asking
If you know what it is or could be please let me know
Kinda tired of paying out the a** to go to shops for work so I really just need to learn how to do all this myself
95 civic lx 5spd d16z6 << car info if needed.. idk lol

If you need pics or a better video or anything let me know
Thanks

COuld you describe it a little better? you have plenty of water lines above all that. What does it smeel like? is it thick or thin liquid? and do you know the exact location of the leak? i saw the video but it looked like grease from cv joints. but then when you panned out it almost looked like coolant.

It's thick like oil and it leaks from that bendy cover thing that connects to the wheel..
It's not brake fluid or anything from the cups that are up above it for the brakes and clutch..
The spot that leaks is the spot the video is focused on at the beginning

Power steering rack.... whether or not its an easy fix...... well yes and no.... you can change out the rack yourself.... however you will need an alignment afterwards..
