Is your vehicle leaving behind puddles when you pull out of the garage? This visual guide can help you understand what those puddles/drips mean.
(Green, Pink, Orange, Purple)
Coolant helps regulate your engine temperature. If you see a green, pink, purple or orange puddle toward the middle of your car hood, you could have a coolant leak. The leak could be caused by a water pump or hose failure. Have it diagnosed.
(clear, yellow, brown)
Appearing near your vehicle’s wheel well, leaking break fluid can be clear, yellow or brown. Don’t drive your car if you have leaking brake fluid, as it could mean your brakes are failing. Have it towed to your repair facility to be checked out.
(Gold, Pink, Red, Black)
If a gold, pink or red fluid is leaking from under your vehicle, it may be transmission fluid. This could be caused by a seal or gasket failure. Low fluid levels in the transmission can cause the transmission to fail.
(yellow, brown, black)
Engine oil leaking from your vehicle could mean there is a seal or gasket failure. If you see oil after an oil change, take it back to make sure everything is secure.
If you’re seeing spots under your vehicle, give Douglas Automotive Repair a call today to have it checked out!
