i have some sort of leak and i don't know what it is. the liquid is pretty slimmy with little to no color -> clear. (it might have a slight tint of dark oil color to it in some places). the leak is near the oil pan. overnight, the puddle becomes about say, 8cm in diameter. the fluid has no smell to it.

do you guys know what it could be? i can't find where its leaking from even if i go under the car. the car runs fine too. My friend says it could be transmission.

help me please!

Hey,

Funny you mention you have a leak near your oil pan. I just came in from doing my tranny fluid and saw your post. My axle seal is leaking, and the tranny fluid was getting too low for my liking, nearly half a liter had leaked out

Try looking for these possible leaking places-

passenger side axle seal. if it is tranny fluid, it might be leaking from there. But since you say its clear, that almost rules out that possibily that its tranny fluid unless its lubricated with water. lol

steering fluid leak?

brake fluid? if it's brake fluid, tow it to a reputable place to get fixed. brakes aren't anything to screw around with unless you absolutely know what you're doing.

maybe the hose to the windshield washer fluid resevoir is leaking.. I filled up mine in the summer because it was completely empty; only to find out that the hose was MISSING and all the fluid I poured in there was now all over my garage floor. laugh.gif

Think you'd be able to take any digital pics? I might be able to help you out better with some pictures.


i got some questions. correct me if i'm wrong but isn't brake fluid on toyota's green or something like that (atleast some color to it?) and by saying tranny, does that mean transmission fluid? <- sorry i don't know these trems.
