your brake fluid reservoir is in the back right corner, but the under cover doesnt go back that far. you never know someone might have spilled something. next time you park your car overnight check to see if it leaked anything on the ground and you will know if your leaking.

no nothing is leaking but when i bought the car the lady said it was leaking redish fluid and it was like a tiny puddle in her garage. and its been leaking for two years. It was a very small puddle of redish fluid.

trans fluid? maybe toyota coolant?

tone loc · 08-10-2006, 04:28 AM

isnt power steering fluid redish in color? maybe that...idk?

Supra2NR · 08-12-2006, 05:45 AM

but if its the power steering fluid, would you able to see it leaking with no problem?

you could use those uv light kits from autoshops so you can see where the leak is coming from

Well, I would almost put money on that it would be trans fluid. Coolant would have a sweet smell, don't taste it, but it would be sweet tasting too.

Easy way to check too....wipe some off, see if its oily, if not, then its coolant, or something else.....

If it isn't leaking anymore, then you don't have anthing to worry about, if it starts up again, then DEFINATLY have that checked out.
