I was just changing the oil on my 08 CX-9 and I noticed oil all over the inner CV boot (near the transmission) on the passenger side. I'm not sure if this is a leak from the CV or power steering.
I say power steering because a couple of months back, the steering was making some grinding sound while turning (car was stationary) left/right. Turns out power steering level was below the LOW level. I filled it up to MAX. Now, it appears to be at the LOW level again.
I can't see where the power steering hose/pipe goes under the car from the engine bay. I can't see it under the car either. Also, from what I understand the CV is packed with grease and the oil appears to be more fluid (from the splashes under the car).
Anyone has similar issues?
