Have you ever found a puddle underneath your vehicle? At Napleton's Autowerks, Inc. (Loves Park), we understand that the instinct is to panic. Here are a few of the possible culprits when you discover your vehicle is leaking.
It could be something as harmless as water. Condensation forms when your air conditioning turns on. Water is the best-case scenario if you notice a leak. Unfortunately, motor oil is the most common substance to end up on the driveway. Sometimes, a loose or cracked oil pain is the problem. This is a relatively simple fix. Other times, the problem is more complicated and will require experts.
Power steering fluid is typically something that collects underneath the front of the car. It is slick and indicates a problem that you will want to get addressed right away. Brake fluid can be found underneath any part of the vehicle, making it hard to identify. If you have a leak that you know is not water, the best bet is to have a professional look at it to ensure your car is safe.
