Only on the 2.3.
Pretty sure OP has a 2.7

Yes sorry I probably should have said that - I have a 2.7

Got back down under there tonight. There was not enough fluid that I could smell what it was but the fact that I couldn't smell it makes me wonder if it's not gear oil. I also noticed there was a tiny bit at the clamp where the tie rod boot meets the steering rack, but also there was some just above that on the rack itself which makes me think a drip from above. I checked all around, including what I could see directly above, as well as CV/axle and boots and no sign of a leak or spray.

I used a q-tip and paper towel and just wiped everything down to clean and dry. I will check back in a couple of weeks and see if there is anything back in the same spot.
