Hi i was wondering if anyone could help with this problem? I have a small red oil leak coming from under the dash not sure where its coming from directly but it happens every once in a while. It looks like it could be transmission fluid but how would it get under the dash? Anybody else ever have this problem?
 
Are you sure its oil or is it just rusty water? The only other thing I can think of is a leaking primary seal in the master cylinder which would let brake fluid to leak past it. Check your fluid level and compare the color.
 
Its definately oil and its red in color. I know its not the oil guage i checked that out and its not leaking.

Check the brake fluid?
 
You need to check your vacum mod on the trans. If the diaphram is leaking the fluid gets sucked back up to the engine ,It then can work it's way thru the vacum lines to the vacum controls under the dash.
