At first I was thinking it might be power steering fluid, but that fluid is a brown color. Oh well, looks like I'll find out the details tomorrow.

When they were getting my loaner, I turned around and there was an IOM ZL1 right in front of me on the showroom floor with a big "HOLD" sign on it. Hmmmmmm.... Good thing, I'd be a dead man if I came home with that baby.
Picked up the baby today and it wasn't transmission fluid. It was the "coolant inlet hose fitting for the engine oil cooler." I should have done some research earlier on CAMARO5. There were several posts on this and a TSB was issued on this somewhat common problem with 2010s and early 2011s. I sure didn't realize that GM DEXCOOL looked so much like transmission fluid!! Anyway, I'm back on the road and enjoyed some great-weather-cruising today here in Oklahoma.

Oh, and the IOM ZL1 was gone....
