I just replaced my intake manifold with a holley pro-jection unit and also put on a holley 670 cfm tbi. I just fired it up today and I noticed a leak near the starter. The fluid is light brown and looks like dirty antifreeze...It doesnt leak at idle (that I can see) only when I rev it up. Also my exhaust is extremely thick (I got high off it!). Im not sure if this is from a rich exhaust or what. It smells mostly like fuel.

thanks for the help!

 

what does the leaking fluid smell like? is it thick or thin?

 

the fluid is thin and brownish in color. I cant get a good sniff of it..

 

Trans fluid.

 

uh, would transmission fluid leak from the engine?

 

the trans cooler lines run near the starter. the dipstick tube is right there also.
