Default Two other leaks (pics)

I found two other "wet" places.
One of them is under the hood, it looks like it is sweating a little oil there.
Is this bad, where is it coming from, head gasket????





On this other spot, i found a drop of coolant, under the car.
Where is that coming from you guess?

Does your car have the green colored antifreeze/coolant in it? Or the red/orange/reddish orange type? Cause the pictures #1 and #2 look like green coolant. In the pics, anyway.

Look in the "overflow" tank on the left fender. What color is in that?

In your first picture I would say its one of the gaskets leaking its not a head gasket more like the small round sealing gasket for the inlet manifold.

If the second picture leak colour is bright green it could be A/C fluid?

Best of luck

I had the same problem with cooling liquid dripping underneath the car.
It was the liquid reservoir cap that was not fully tightened.

Easy to fix. Get a can of "Steel-Seal" and follow the directions on it. Should take care of the issue.

Djurre1980,

Looks like you have a coolant (green) leak, as well. I had coolant showing up at the same location. If I recall there is a gasket at location #1 and an o-ring at location #2.

Location #3 is the PCV. I would replace this and the upper and lower o-rings for the intake mainfold. You're getting oil blowing past the PCV, then leaking out through the manifold o-ring gaskets. Eventually, you'll have a misfire and then car will go into limp mode - "cruise not available" message will show up.

Keep us posted on what you find.

Thanks Jeeves12 for all the info.

My coolant is not green?
It is red?
