Johnston77 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hello everyone, I just recently bought myself a 03 pathfinder le 4x4 and I just got an leak and I did read a thread about it from 2010 but I just wanted too make sure that this was indeed an oil leak. I will add some photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuong Nguyen Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Looks like an engine oil leak. I'd clean it up to find the trace if you haven't already. Other option could be power steering leak too but leaning towards engine oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnston77 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 Okay I just took these pictures like 30 min ago, so tomorrow I’ll clean it up and take a look. Out of the steering fluid and oil witch one should I hope it to be ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has 2 o rings that can be replaced and will often fix any leaks that the cooler has. It looks like this is at least one of the sources of your leak.

adamzan Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 That oil cooler leak is pretty common. The o rings should be available from Nissan. I've had to do them on a few VQ35s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
