is their spots on the ground?? no you can't be eating it... it has to be
leaking from somewhere... i don't know about 4wd either... i know you have
a totally different steering system then me... don't know what else to tell
you... take it into a garage and have them inspect it for $50 or whatever
it costs if you want a real opinion..
good luck...
