antifreeze

It is antifreeze from your cooling system and there are three likely sources of the leak. One is a worn out hose or a loose hose clamp. The second is from the drain hole in your waterpump, signalling that the water pump has failed. The third is the radiator itself.
There are rarer sources of leaks, such as a failed freeze plug on the block or the cylinder head, but the three I have listed first are the most likely.
If you require any further information, please feel free to contact me at anonymourati@msn.com.

Antifreeze.
Find the source of the leak, if it's from the radiator, you can get a repair kit from an auto parts store and repair it yourself or if it's the radiator hose, you can fix that yourself as well.
Anything else should be checked out by a mechanic but in any case- you should not be driving your car until this is fixed!!

Yellowish-brownish is oil.
Yellowish-greenish is radiator fluid.
Bright red is transmission fluid
Bright blue and really thin is brake fluid.
If it looks like windex its probly winshield washer fluid.
If you are leaking the yellowish-greenish and it is radiator fluid, please be careful. To many pets it tastes sweet, so they like to drink the fluid but it turns their kidneys off, and the pets die.
I had a kitten die because of my neighbors car problem. She got sick and we took her to the vet. The vet told us that she had drank antifreeze and it turned off her kidneys and there was nothing we could do. It was too late. :(

you need to check your antifreeze. there are other liquids in your car. go to walmart and get a 18 point oil change. ask them to tell you the differences in the fluids. just start trying to talk to them and they will respond. always check your ten or so fluids every three months. learn how to care for your car.

It's your anti-freeze , keep an eye on your temperature guage for a close watch on engine overheating. Have a friend or family member check for leaks .

Sounds like antifreeze. (aka coolant.) I've had this problem several times in the past. (Lucky you: They make Stop Leak for radiators and for oil! And it's cheap and WORKS!!)

Your anti-freeze is leaking. If its from the radiator and its a small leak, try putting Bars-leak in your radiator. Or check you hoses.

Antifreeze. If I were you I'd take a class on basic vehicle maintenance or find a VERY honest mechanic. Trust me, most mechanics can see a pigeon from a mile a way.

This may be brake line fluid, or even a gas leak. you should bring your car into a mechanic right away.
