[T2] Leaking oil - from the front t?!?!

[Dave Horrigan]

I assume it's steering box oil. This is the same as gear oil and has a
weird smell, unlike any engine oil (well mine does anyway). As to why there
are two separate drips, not sure, but maybe it's running along something
and picking up dirt on the way?
