As you were pulling out of your drive on the way to Keystone Kidspace today, you noticed a puddle of fluid where your car had been. You figure your car has sprung some kind of leak but you're not sure where and whether to panic.
"There are a few different types of vehicle fluids, and while some are perfectly normal, others can be trouble. So what could that fluid be? Fortunately, most car fluid colors vary, and you can usually tell just by the color," according to autotrends.org.
According to autotrends.org, here fluids that could be leaking and their distinguishing color:
- Coolant - bright green, orange or pink
- Oil - black
- Transmission fluid - pink, red or dark red
- Gear oil - usually in thick globs with the consistency of honey
- Power steering fluid - looks like transmission fluid
- Brake fluid - clear and may have an amber tint
- Wiper fluid - bright blue or pink
- Water - clear and odorless
- Gas - "The thick, sweet smell of gasoline is familiar to almost everyone, with some of us actually liking its smell. However, the fumes can be dangerous whether you’re breathing them in or if a nearby spark causes it to ignite. If you notice a small puddle that has all sorts of rainbow colors in it, it’s very likely you have a gasoline spill or leak. While any part of your car’s fuel system can leak, the gasket around your gas cap is the most common culprit."
Any fluid leak is a reason for a visit to a trusted car repair technician who can track down the source and fix the problem. You can find a trusted car repair specialist at the Meineke Car Care Center on E Market Street in York.
