Escort oil leak under dash
 
My granddaughter’s 96 Escort has an oil leak (drip), which drips from under the dash into some wiring and onto the floor mat just under the steering column. I have removed some of the lower plastic covering, but I can’t really see where the oil is coming from. It is red, and looks like hydraulic steering fluid. It drips fastest when the engine is running.
It looks like it is coming from somewhere above the steering column, and behind the instrument cluster. I can’t exactly see clearly what I’m looking at up there, but it maybe framing or air ducting. Why is there any steering fluid oil up there?
By the looks of every thing that is soaked with oil, at least a ½ cup of oil or more has come down from there. Any Ideas.
Thanks
