reg. initial post:
"The fluid had squirted all over the engine bay and it kinda felt like oil for a second but didnt smell ANYTHING and tasted ”kinda” sweet..."

For future reference: If you are in the business of taste-evaluating of leakages on your Jag:
Sweet means coolant. While I don't have any desire to taste all those fluids, I know that, because of the 1985 wine-scandal in Germany, which did cost the industry about 1 billion...: In 1985 German wine-producers decided that it is a good idea to mix a bit of coolant into their wine to make it taste SWEETER... This kind of backfired when BITTER reality caught up with them costing them huge money...


PS: I especially don't want to know what battery-acid tastes like...
I restrict myself to smell-evaluation: That funny smelling fluid is ATF.

...and don't go where the huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow!
