I have a leak, please help!
So I have a leak under the driver's side, I noticed the leak the other day when I pulled out of the garage. It is a blueish/green leak. Not sure what it is, probably coolent I suppose? Anybody with any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Well? What's in the car... Oil, Water, Coolant, PS fluid, Transmission fluid. From the description, it sounds like coolant. Did you check the coolant level? Notice a drop? Take a touch/smell of the liquid?

I won't be near the car until tonight, but I was thinking it might be windshield wiper fluid. The leak was under the driver's side on the ground. I didn't get to investigate, because I had to leave in a hurry.

IIRC, the wiper fluid tank is in the front fender, drivers side - between the wheel and the door, as it were. Could be it.

Yes, and it has an overflow drain to the outside. Maybe he overfilled it recently.

Smell some of the fluid. If it's sickly sweet, it's antifreeze/coolant. If it smells like glass cleaner, it's wiper fluid.

If it is wiper fluid, then it could be similar to a problem I had. The hose that goes from the resevoir to the wipers had become disconnected. When I went to spray the windshield, about a half of gallon of windshield wiper fluid would hit the garage floor. If you pull back the fender inner plastic you can see the resevoir and associated hoses. I had to reach up in there and reconnect the hose then put a zip tie on it. Took about 30 minutes but has held now for over 6 months. Hope this is your problem...easy fix. Good Luck.
