2000 toyota Camry. The driver's side floorboard feels wet. the substance seems to be a bit oily, thin. When you clean it with a cloth the liquid is tinted a red color. THis is the only seat it is happenning in, not the passenger side. Car is running fine.

Automatic. Just had a brake job done, brakes seem fine. no fluid levels are low. I 've had it inspected in the last month as well as some other minor maintain work done, timing belt, water pump. Problem happened a few months ago and I soaked it all up. It just started happening again. liquid has no appearant odor. About a year ago the radiator was replaced along with the heater core. I have taken the car on 2 hr trips with no brake trouble, etc.

It is ATF oil or brake clutch fluid leaking.
Better have it checked asap.
Good luck

Possible causes: 1. Make sure the floor is dry then drive for a while with the a/c on, then let it sit for a few minutes after you turn it off. If the floor is wet then it could be the a/c. 2. Check under the car to make sure there are no holes in the floor (similar problem in a toyota celica). 3. Front windscreen seal or door seal has a leak (similar problem in ford truck) 4. Make sure the coolant is full then run the car until it is warm and run the heater then the defrost. If you smell anything or see any liquid dripping then maybe it is your heater coil (similar problem in olds). 5. Last, but hopefully not the problem, if the liquid has a slightly oily feel it may be brake fluid from the cylinder attached to the brake pedal or the clutch pedal(also similar problem in toyota celica). hope this helps. j.m.

It sounds like it could be transmission fluid. If the car has a manual transmission, it could be from the hydraulic clutch master cylinder. Look up under the dash and see if there are traces of the same fluid on the clutch pedal or any of it's linkages. Next, take a look and see if the clutch fluid reservoir is low. If this isn't the case, ask the question again and specify a little more info about your car.

It could be from your clutch or your brakes. maybe a bad seal. But that fluid should be clear or a little brownish. It sounds like transmission fluid, but off hand, I can't say that I've seen transmission fluid leak into the cabin. See what fluids you are low on. That'll be the one that is leaking. good luck.

Toyota brand anti-freeze is red. It will feel a little oily. If they used that red kind, it could be your heater core. When your engine is cool, take off the radiator cap and see if you have the red anti-freeze.

It could be the clutch master cylinder or the brake master cylinder , it needs to be inspected and the system repaired.

Do you park under a tree?
Do you drink a lot of red kool aid?
Maybe there is a leak in your trans. Is it an automatic?
