Hey guys, I just saw this when I drove back into my driveway, what is it? It's clearly some fluid, but I don't really know anything about cars...
>>14781180
Looks like oil but hard to tell. Is it dark brown or black in color or is it red?
>>14781190
It's more light brown, and it's somewhat slick.
>>14781196
Probably oil then. Look under the car and see if you can tell where it's coming from. Also check your dips tick and see how much oil you've lost. Looks like it's leaking pretty bad so try not to drive it much.

I noticed it starting from a stop sign down the street while I was driving back from the store. I don't see it leaking from anywhere.
check transmission fluid, brake fluid, powersteering fluid.
>>14781180
wipe up some with a white napkin and post a photo

Is there an associated hard knocking that you have been ignoring for a while that just got a lot louder?
F
waiting for punchline.
>>14781563
Is it not supposed to sound like that?
>>14781580
...no
>>14781180
Look at the topside of your engine. It looks like it is dripping from different places so could be leaking from something up top and flowing over other parts to make those three paths.
If it was leaking from the stop sign then it's probably not leaking now... because you're empty.
>>14781580
If it does sound like that then your engine is fucked and there's nothing you could do about it anymore
>>14781641
>>14781648
I noticed it on the other side of the road. Will my car be okay? The knocking didn't really change, it's been that way for a long time, shouldn't it be fine?
>>14781660
If there is that much fluid leaking out, and in such a stream as you posted, something serious happened.
Is your oil light on OP?
>>14781660
>>14781674
Yeah man that's not even a leak anymore, its draining oil.
RIP shitbox ???-2016
>>14781680
Are you sure? Couldn't I just drive up to the store and get more oil?
>>14781706
Are you retarded? Look how badly that is leaking, you'd be out of oil before you got to the store, and if you did make it you'd probably run out tomorrow. Your car is fucked.

Here, I wiped some up. The dipstick is nice and clean.
>mfw i called a bunch of dudes from my work over to help me figure out what was wrong with my car and it was black coffee i had spilled on the roof that leaked down the hatch and out the wheel well
>>14781729
That's transmission or power steering fluid. If it's power steering the thing is probably just about out of fluid and still drivable, but if it's transmission fluid (is it automatic?) then you're fucked.
>>14781748
There was a crunch when I started it up before heading out, and the oil light is off. The bulb might be out though. I figured the oil would be fine since I never changed the oil in my old minivan and apparently it didn't have any oil when I took it in for a checkup a while ago.
You don't need trans fluid or power steering OP, good to go!
>>14781790
he's right tho
>>14781790
I guess so, the steering didn't seem to have any problems. The heat was a little weaker than usual, but there were no problems.
