The liquid is slightly warm, but not hot. I noticed this after the car was parked for about 5 minutes after a 30 minute drive in local traffic. After trying to locate the exact source of the leak, I noticed the liquid dripping off the frame. The spot on the ground is on the passenger side, approx the size of a cupcake, approx 3-4 inches away from the engine, and about 2-3 inches in front of the front wheel. The fluid levels were all checked and are within the normal range. The car typically runs fine, a little rough at an idle on occasion and gas mileage has decreased by about 100 miles/tank over the last year. It doesn't overheat, and is driven daily. It was suggested that it's a possible leaking head gasket. Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful as I am on an extremely tight budget, and I don't want to spend money on useless repairs.
