If you are noticing a puddle or wet spots on the
garage floor or in parking lots right under where you have parked your car,
ignoring them can be notorious, as more often than not they signify, that your
vehicle is leaking on a pivotal fluid.
Various car fluids, if gone below the standard
level, can leave you looking out for All Sydney Tow Truck to
get your car towed to an auto workshop.
The potential source of a fluid leak can be identified
by analyzing the color, texture, and sometimes odor of the fluid. Here we are
going to give you a complete guide on how you can identify the auto fluids
leaked based on their color.
1)
Light
brown to black colored fluid
If you witness light brown to black colored spots
under your car, it's most likely the engine oil. When the oil is new, it's
usually amber brown or even dark golden, however, it gets darker brown to black
later on.
2)
Red-colored
fluid
Red-colored fluid can cause a bit of confusion, as
both transmission fluid and power steering fluid are usually red. But, the
position of the spots can help to distinguish between the two. If the red spots
are near the front left side of the car, then it's surely the power steering
fluid.
3)
Slightly
yellowish fluid
Slightly yellowish fluid with a slick texture
signifies the brake fluid leaks. If you suspect that there's a brake fluid
leak, then you should immediately call Roseville Towing to
ask for a tow truck for your car, as it can be hazardous driving the vehicle
until the leak is fixed and fluid topped up to optimum level.
4)
Orange,
pink, lime green, or bluish-green fluid
Coolant comes in the most vibrant and fluorescent
colors, therefore it usually easy to identify. You will also experience a sweet
smell if there is a coolant leak.
5)
Rainbow
fluid leaks
You may experience a rainbow shaded fluid, which
most probably is gasoline. However, gasoline may not show any spots, or a
puddle, in that case, a gas leak is pretty evident by its smell. A gas leak can
make you run out of fuel and leave you stranded if it happens you can
avail SeaforthTowing's roadside assistance and refueling services.
6)
Clear
and transparent fluid leaks
If you see a small puddle of clear fluid under your
car, then there is nothing to panic about, as it is just water. It is most
likely to occur when the air conditioner of the car is in use.
Whether there are a few drops or
a puddle, it's equally concerning and the
leak needs to be fixed on priority. But, if for any reason the leak has led you
to a breakdown around Roseville, Seaforth, or Willoughby, you can drop a call to All Sydney Tow Truck to get served.
