Fluid Leakage Identification
Here is a quick guide for identifying some of the drips under your car:
* Yellow, Green, Blue, or Orange slimy-feeling water is probably engine coolant (also found inside the car under the dash if the heater core is leaking).
* Reddish, lightweight hydraulic oil could either be transmission or power steering fluid.
* Clear, lightweight hydraulic oil could be brake fluid or power steering fluid.
* Engine oil may be black or look like it does right out of the bottle.
* Heavy, syrupy oil could be manual transmission or axle differential oil.
* Blue, soapy water could be windshield washer fluid (cracked reservoir, leaky pump...)
* Clear water is likely normal condensation draining out of the car's air conditioner system or rainwater draining from the windshield cowl.
