- Engine coolant: Coolant is a green or orange liquid that helps keep your car's engine from overheating. If the leak is coming from around the hoses or radiator, it's likely coolant.
- Power steering fluid: Power steering fluid is a red or brown liquid that helps make your car's steering wheel easier to turn. If the leak is coming from around the power steering pump or hoses, it's likely power steering fluid.
- Transmission fluid: Transmission fluid is a reddish or brown liquid that helps lubricate and cool your car's transmission. If the leak is coming from around the transmission pan or dipstick, it's likely transmission fluid.
- Brake fluid: Brake fluid is a clear or amber liquid that helps your car's brakes work properly. If the leak is coming from around the brake master cylinder or brake lines, it's likely brake fluid.
- Gasoline: If the leak is coming from around the fuel tank or fuel lines, it's likely gasoline. However, it can be difficult to tell gasoline leaks from coolant or engine oil, so it's best to always play it safe and have a look.
