I recently took possession of my late father's 53 Manhattan. I purchased it for him in 2013 and it was well maintained and frequently driven before he passed last June. Since then it has pretty much just sat in his driveway. I've started it a number of times over the last year, but didn't drive it anywhere myself as the registration expired shortly after he passed and I wasn't going to renew the NY registration. I had it shipped to me last week. I drove it from his house to a main road so it could be loaded onto the transport truck, about a mile. When it was delivered I just put it in my garage for a few days. On Monday I took it out for a quick drive, to fill up the tank, see how she handled, and show it to my mechanic. The drive was about 7.5 miles. I pulled the car out of the garage this afternoon to do some work, and saw some fluids on the concrete. The attached photos show closeups of the fluids, a wide shot to show where they are, and a shot with the car in the garage to give an idea of where the spots are in relation to the car itself. Based on the color, texture and smell, I'm guessing the fluid in the rear is grease, but I've never really worked on cars besides helping my dad with some break jobs and oil changes as a kid. KF cars were my Dad's passion, and I'm slowly transferring his extensive library and parts collection. I'm sure I've got a 53 Shop manual around here somewhere, but not sure where at the moment.
So, can anyone help me identify what these leaks may be? Also, if anyone reading is in the Washington DC Area, I could use some recommendations for mechanics. My mechanic doesn't know Kaisers at all, and is a bit reluctant to work on older vehicles. He hasn't worked on them in a long time himself, and most of his guys have never touched anything pre mid 80s.
