Uh Oh! What's leaking here in the front? (2004 base)
Hello all!
So, I have a '04 base and I have a leak that's hiding in the passenger side wheel well! You can see in the pic, that there is a dark area from the fluid on the outer part of wheel well that goes all the way around. I can't tell if it's coolant (most likely) or oil? Is there an oil line running from the back to the front of the car? I was hoping for some insight before I remove the bumper, so I know what to expect. Thanks for readinghttp://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1576117709.jpg |
No oil lines that far forward. If its oily, then maybe A/C freon leak? Get a finger on it and give it the smell test. I suggest you pull the wheel and remove the fender liner first. That is a fairly easy DIY. Then pull the bumper next.
Also, get the factory PET parts catalog from Suncoast's website. It will have a page with an exploded diagram to help you sort it out. Let us know what you find. |
Is your window washer fluid reservoir located on that side?
Do you have headlight washers? Could it be the heater core leaking? |

Washer reservoir resides in the left fender behind the tire. OP, keep us posted... |
I would think either anti-freeze or brake fluid. There isn't much else on that side beside the EVAP canister.
|
There's a joint in the AC system right above there. Could be that.

Ok, not having the time yet to pull the fender panel, I have observed the fluid levels the last few days and have discerned that the leak must be AC refrigerant. I haven't turned the heater or ac on week and have seen no more traces of a leak. I plan to remove the panel this weekend to confirm, then I will post my observations.
Thanks to all who replied, this forum and it's members ROCK! 👍 |
