    its either coolant or supercharger oil. check the pulley and end of the snout to see if the seal is done for. otherwise youre looking at your water pump.

    my guess is supercharger oil.

    It looks like it was on the accessory belt, not the blower belt.

    it does seem to be coming off the accessory, if it was coolant id be on the blower belt most likely. where it appears to be a dark fluid i wouldnt rule out s/c oil just yet

    I had the same problem on my last GP. Turned out to be the boot on the axle shaft had split and was flinging grease onto the belt which then threw it all over everything exactly like what you have. You should be able to track it back to one of the causes mentioned here.

    Yes could be, a hole or seal went bad on the cv inner shaft causing grease to spray out everywhere, coming in contact with your belts on the pass side which then made the mess worse. Either get a good junkyard axle or a new boot kit, aftermarkets tend to fail more often.

    What type of fluid is it? It doesn't look like grease on the pass side.

    Also what's your wire for thats going across everything in the engine bay? Remote start/tach or a fire hazard?

    My uncles gtp had the same exact slick. Busted cv boot. MY gtp had the same exact slick.. the cv boot clamp broke and the whole boot slipped off and shot it up onto the hood, on the snout and basically anything that was exposed back there. thats what your problem most definetly is
