    Something is Leaking!! help?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have a leak of some sort of Fluid from under my car - it feels like some sort of hydrolic fluid, it is not red like tranny fluid and is not oil... It happened about a week ago one time a small puddle in my garage, looked and found nothing really, then today at work, there is a larger puddle under my car (100% sure it is from my car)

    I had the clutch changed about a two weeks ago, could it be something from that?

    Thanks for the advice and help!

    Did you eat too many low fat Pringles? They have a olean type fat that can cause leakage.



    but seriously, if it's not oil or tranny fluid that just leaves power steering fluid and brake fluid (or coolant..but that would be watery). I'd check the levels of all fluids and see what is low.

    Not Brake fluid - but I will check the others thanks for the help.

    Could the clutch leak somehow? are they a hydraulic clutch?

    I think the clutch fluid is some kind of mineral fluid.

    Just got back from looking at all the fluid levels, and the only one down is the coolant level - I filled it two days ago when I changed the oil and now it is below the "min" level - Pretty sure it is the problem...

    It is leaking from somewhere on the back side of the motor...I have a bentley's manual so I should be okay in finding the hose or fitting -

    Thanks for the Help!
