LEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sabotage]

Just got back from a trip up to Scotland and I am leaking something. I pulled up a few times during the day and noticed a trail of what looked like oil spots following my car. I checked the oil and it is fine and furthermore, the substance dripping didn't feel like oil to the touch. It was a clear, greasy type substance. No warning lights have come on but its dripping quite fast.
Any ideas?

clear greasy but not oil sounds like brake fluid!! be VERY carefull untill you get it checked out.. have you noticed your brakes go soft at all compared to normal?

could be brake fluid or power steering fluid,what i would do is put some paper under it to see where its leaking from then u will know where to start looking, hope this helps jay

The leak was............


A petrol leak!! Got a mechanic to look at it and he said there is corrosion all round the fuel pump. Good news is that it will be relatively cheap to fix.
Thanks for the ideas lads!

yikes.. would have thought you would have been able to smell that [img]/biggrin.gif[/img] heheh got a cold or something?
cheap is allways good [img]/smile.gif[/img] hope he keeps his word [img]/smile.gif[/img]
It has probably melted some of the underseal, which is why its not evaporated off, i woud have thought it would still stink tho.. be sure the fault goes away after he's repaired the section [img]/smile.gif[/img]
