Fluid on/near left front tire
I have a small puddle on the garage floor fron the left front tire/engine area.
It is a yellow/brown color and thicker that oil. The lower a arm is covered as is the left front wheel well, the inside of the wheel and on the axle. Visually from the top the cv boots look fine as does the engine area. Have not gotten underneath the car. Oil level is on the mark. Brake fluid resevour(s) there are 2 are also okay. May be a slight low level, not sure as I don't know what full level mark is.
Thoughts?
And the answer is: Blown left caliper. Expensive repair. only 35K on the car. What gives? I guess I learned my lesson on Hondas.
