Fluid Leaks and What They Mean

Fluid leaks can mean a variety of things and you should never ignore fluid leaks that you are noticing under your vehicle.

  •         Light Brown Spots

This is usually an oil stain and it can mean that your gaskets or seals are leaking in your engine or your oil pan has a problem or has failed. This is one of the biggest reasons for oil spots on the ground under your car.

  •         Red Spots

This is common when there are issues with your transmission. These spots can sometimes look like oil spots, but transmission leaks are often much more serious. This is a key reason that you should bring your car to us when you see fluid leaks of any kind so that we can find out what is going on and get your car repaired right away.

  •         Clear Spots

This can indicate a power steering fluid leak. Being without power steering can render most cars almost impossible to drive and this can be a big safety concern for you and your family. The location of these spots can impact our diagnosis as well and we can help you to track down where the spots are coming from.

  •         Yellow Spots

This is usually due to brake fluid that is leaking. This is not as common as some of the other fluid leaks on this list, but you should consider this a serious problem since your car needs brakes to be operated safely. Ignoring yellow spots can lead to brake failure and accidents.
