so i came home from a 45 minute commute, and felt like gettin frisky with my beautiful car. so i did a quick walk around and noticed some clear fluid all around my passenger side wheel well. it wasnt all over the place, just in a 1/2 inch line all the way across it. i tasted it and i think its coolant. Im guessin that i have a leak in the top corner of the radiator, but im too lazy to look at it now. so before i go and look at it in the morning, i wanted to get any suggestions what the prob could be besides the rad or hose leak. its all the way around the wheel well as if the tire is distibuting it around, but i dunno. help me out ppl thanks

 

Tasted? I hope you said tested it and typed it in wrong. It has to be stuff from the road because there is nothing that would be remotely close to the wheel well that would be fluid.

 

brake fluid is the breakfast of champions...!!!

 

ya i tasted that ****...was definitely coolant....and it was clear so it wasnt brake fluid. thats why i tasted it to make sure it wasnt water. call me weird

 

......

......



What's sad is no longer are posts like this in this section trolling, he's serious.

God help us all.

 

im running to AutoZone right now, i wanna be a champion too

 

why? youre the one thats sad cuz youd rather upoad a dumbass picture then answer a question that someone has. its not like i poured it in a cup and drank it dumbshit. i tasted it lightly on the tip of my tounge to make sure it wasnt water. now either help me out or GTFO...dont be posting dumb**** pics

 

1. I get home.
2. i see some **** splattered under my FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WELL...in cas you dont know thats where one of the brakes is.....ITS NOT AT ANY OTHER PART OF THE CAR, AND ITS NOT SPLASHED ALL OVER SO I REALIZE THERE IS SOME KIND OF A LEAK
3.i wipe it with my finger to see if its brake fluid
4 i see that its clear...ruling out brake fluid
5 i lightly taste it
6. I think "hey thats coolant" and i spit it out as i would spit out anything that I put in my mouth thats not edible
7. i open the trunk to get the jack to take off my tire
8. i get called in by my gf for dinner
9. I say "**** it, ill ask HT before i take my tire off, maybe i can get answers without havin to change my clothes and take off my goddam tire"
10. i ask
11. i get dumbass "know it alls" like *** snyper...(that must be another word for ***got, who knows these days) posting up pics instead of being useful since this forum is about solving problems and sharing tips. so help or stfu

 

I'd tell you to drink something toxic but you seem to already have handled that sweetheart.

 

air goes in tires. not coolant. coolant goes in the intake.

 

who said anything about coolant in the tire? its in the wheelwell

 

Dude, it's splatter from the road.

And that stuff is toxic, even a diluted amount is hazardous to your health.

 

If it's coolant you can usually sniff it and tell off the bat unless you're running straight water for coolant....

 

well let the coolant out of the wheelwell, and put it back in the intake where it belongs.
