  1. Gather some of the leaking oil using an absorbent white tissue.
  2. Take samples of engine oil and ATF (or transaxle oil), both from the dipstick, and place them next to the leaked oil already gathered on the tissue.
  3. Compare the appearance and smell, and identify the type of oil that is leaking.
  4. Remove any oil on the engine or transaxle/transmission.
  5. Allow the engine to run for 30 min.
  6. Check the area where the oil is leaking, then make necessary repairs.
