Comments on: How to Know if Your Car Has a Fluid Leak

on 3/22/2008 today i went to check my water in my 1989 Nissan, Pulsar and i noticed there was green fluid in the water. what could that be? could it be coolant? and what does that mean if it is leaking into my water compartment? should i not drive it until I can get my mechanic to check it? thanks heaps.

it mention nothing should leak ,but what about the water you get from running the air conditioner ? I've always been told that it is just condensation is this true or not ?

on 5/4/2007 The brake fluid reservoir will decrease for one or two reasons.....a leak as reflected above, but also as the brake pad lining wears down. As the brake pads are used, friction will wear away your brake pad lining. The brake pads will still make contact with the wheel rotor to stop the vehicle but the difference in "wear space" will be taken up by a drop in the brake fluid reservoir. If you find that your reservoir is low and there are no leaks to the system, check the brake pads. They may need to be replaced.

on 11/22/2005 One day I started my car and I smelled gasoline. I was afraid to drive it so I called AAA. They wouldn't touch my car until the fire department came and gave me an OK to tow. It was the fuel pump. So, never drive a car when you smell gasoline.
