Good morning, last night the D-Rango left a small puddle of what appears to be oil under the car. Using a paper towel, I dabbed up the fluid. It mostly smells like oil, but has a slight anti-freeze smell to it. On my last oil change, I sent a sample to Blackstone, no signs of water in the oil. In fact, they recommended 9K oil change intervals.
I put the D on the ramps and started looking around. I don't see much to indicate where the leak is coming from. I checked the oil, and it is full. I removed the lower shielding, and it didn't reveal anything either. Looking from the top I don't see anything either.
As a sanity check, I did an oil change and replaced the filter. I am also keeping the lower shielding off to get a better idea of where the leak is coming from.
Another item on the D that I need to check out - Its steering wheel is off-center. However, its last alignment showed mostly good. The only item of slight concern was the rear passenger adjustment.
I replaced the trans-axel fluid about 1 year ago, and I don't believe that this is what I am leaking.

Questions:
- In the front of the Durango, driver's side, what oil-like fluid could be leaking?
- Is there an oil-like component associated with the steering of the D? I thought it was electric.
- Is there a service for aligning the steering wheel? or is that typically done with an alignment?
- what am i missing?
