I’m going to clean that area, then watch for leaks.
Clean the area thoroughly and use most any spray powder(foot, crotch etc) on the area. Start and drive 5 minutes and it should be obvious.

It appears to be the oil pan , so I’ll drop that clean and reseal it as directed! What fun!

It's always something with older vehicles. If they're not leaking it means they're empty.

Got my new marker bulbs in the other day and installed, now shee is all lit up like a christmas tree at night LOL
Anyways, anything I need to get done with the HHR and around the property needs to get done asap and getting help to do it is hard, I do have a guy coming to drop 10 trees for me in trade of some lawn care tools so I can get the garden in as I am now waiting on my doctor to call me with a surgery date for my wrist as I have 2 torn ligamints . What fun this is going to be with my arm in a cast for 2 months.

Changed the AF today and the Cabin after a few days ago,
The AF was not bad at all but since it a bit of a pain to pull out I put in a new one :)
I did not write down when I changed it last but my guess the most mileage would be 10 k
I have only put on 4k on the HHR since winter tire swap and oil change 2021
So had a grease pencil and wrote the date and mileage on the AF cover !
So 2 less things to worry about :)

Drove out to farmers market, picked up bacon and bread, drove out to the farm , for tomato plants and cut the lawns, serviced the mower, drove home! Cold AC air conditioning was great!

I ordered a WeatherTech sunshade for the windshield. A bit pricey, but they claim it's a custom fit. We'll see.
