What is leaking?

Maud · 02-06-2016, 11:29 AM

Hi Everyone - I noticed a small pool of something this morning under the front passenger side of the car. It looks like something is pooled inside and slowly leaking out. Any ideas - oil, coolant, etc?

Oil cooler is in the passenger wheel well in front of the wheel. If you can get some on your fingers it should be fairly obvious if its oil vs coolant.

So....it turned out to be a leak of the windshield washer fluid

It might be the pump or the filler neck. Will fix it myself when it gets warmer one day.... Better than oil and/or coolant
