My car is leaking

Post by sexybella »

Today I noticed that my car was leaking. Its on the passengers side front wheel in the back of the wheel. Its this black stuff, it kinda looks like greese. Does anyone know what it is and what to do?

You could've blown a coolant hose. Mine had that same problem, didnt notice it though till a had a crack in the radiator and 3 blown hoses, now its in the shop getting fixed. You should get it checked out before it gets worse.

Also look for it else where in side the engine compartment. When I first noticed my engine overheating, there was coolant all over the front drive wheel well and the front grill.

If it is a tore boot than you need to definitely fix it now before you are replacing the cv joint like I had to last weekend.

It just happens over time, wear and tear. Or rough and bad driving, either one.
