Learn What's Leaking Based On Car Fluid Color
|
When you own a car, there will likely come a time when liquid forms under the vehicle. You may not know where the puddle is coming from, especially with all the different types of fluids in most cars. Fortunately, you can quickly learn the best way to diagnose a leak depending on the color shade of the liquid. The most common color shade of liquid under the vehicle is brown or black, indicating oil is leaking from the engine. Look at your engine level, which can be a severe problem if the leak is larger. The liquid may be thin and red or brown and thick if you have transmission fluid that is leaking. This doesn't make the car inoperable, but you may notice it's not as smooth with how it drives. This often occurs when the power steering doesn't work if the levels get too low.
