its an older 93 maybe? ford escort wagon
so any suggestions? thanks guys.

Thats coolant. Maybe her radiator cracked.

so maybe the egg trick would work?

Cracking an egg into the rad is alleged to seal up leaks temporarily.

cracking some JB weld does the same thing...haha

yeah i heard you could crack an egg into the radiator and it will fill up some small cracks and then not long after i heard that they did it on mythbusters and it worked

Those escorts always leaked coolant.If it wasn't waterpump it was radiator. I used to have one. suspension was great tho..Go mazda!

never ahd to crack an egg in it tho.did once in a crapalier
