There is a clear, odorless liquid that is coming out of my car. It has a consistency, so it isnt water. It look like it is coming below the intake manifold somewhere. I went under, and the whole underside of the car is slimey, probably from the wind pushing the liquid back. ANyone know what it is?

 

could be power steering fluid. check your steering rack,hoses,pump etc. for leaks.

 

I doubt it's PS fluid, since it isn't really clear and it definately has a distinctive odor. Unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions as to what it might be. Quite a stumper.

 

Humm maybe you ran over something? try to clean it off, maybe steam clean it and see if you can locate where it is comming from after you cleaned it off.

I have seen ps fluid that is clear.......

 

Anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks, Ryan

 

When this stuff leaked out, did you have the a/c on for quite some time?

If so, it's just condensation from the a/c coming out of the drain hose. The a/c evaporator drain hose is by the passenger side wheel well.

Possibly coolant mixed with road debris?
There are coolant lines on the back side of the intake manifold...

i know its not close to the proximity but it could be clutch fluid.

 

did you taste it?

 

what color is our coolant? stock. greenish?

 

my money is with Tommy...

with the a/c on you'll dump quite a bit of watery fluid...and crap can mix in with it (like grease).

 

OEM Honda PS fluid is far from clear, and even if it appeared that way underneath the car, it still wouldn't be odorless.

 

you should zip up your pants, that clear oderless stuff should go away
