yellow leak
 
i was moving my car out of the driveway after it had snowed and i saw a yellowish/green fluid on the snow directly in the middle of where my car was

any ideas what it was?

coolant

^x2. for sure. is it a lot of fluid of just a few drips? water pump could be starting to leak.

Could be from the air conditioner lines as well....

Sounds like coolant but unless somebody has changed it, it should be dexcool, and dexcool is a light red color.

Simple way to find out.

Open coolant bottle and see what color the fluid in there is. Sounds like coolant to me

Just changed mine. My WP was leaking like a mofo, then it stopped :wtf2: I had fun changing it. I mean I really had fun doing it. No sarcam in this.

haha your car pissed in your driveway. did it write your name in the snow?

robalero 01-27-2011 06:24 PM

I know what it is.

believe it or not its common and happens to every vehicle in the winter, its the water from the snow it hits your exhaust and then drips onto the snow in the yellowish/neonish color hence why its all over and around your car mostly if you follow the exhaust its right on spot with it

Chris2000 01-27-2011 07:57 PM

robalero 01-27-2011 08:05 PM

spc2125 01-27-2011 08:21 PM

im pretty sure that your right because my pops car right next to mine did the same thing
thanks for the help

But how would it get yellow, that makes zero sense unless you have a yellow painted exhaust pipe (not likely).

the color change takes place simply out of contact with the hot, rusty heat-shield.
cuz this happened after i had my car running while i was wiping it off

kwhauck 01-27-2011 10:14 PM

hmmmm...the only thing that drops from my vehicles in the winter is mud...

spc2125 01-27-2011 10:32 PM

and the hater is back :P

$hawn 01-28-2011 12:15 AM

The only way to find out for sure is to get under the car, look and see where it's coming from.
