Check Under Your Car for Leaks
A quick glance under your vehicle can help spot problems before they become expensive repairs.
Look out for:
β
Clear water (often normal from air conditioning)
β
Green, pink, or orange fluid (coolant)
β
Brown or black fluid (engine oil)
β
Red fluid (transmission or power steering fluid on some vehicles)
β
Strong-smelling fuel leaks
Quick Tip: If you notice a fresh puddle where your car is parked, place a piece of cardboard underneath overnight to help identify the source and location of the leak.
π‘ Catching a small leak early can save you from a breakdown and prevent costly damage to your vehicle.
