fluid leaking from behind left front wheel well?
 
hmm...just drove into work and noticed a puddle of fluid behind the left front wheel well. Turned on the car and none of the check engine,oil,wiper,brake etc lights were on.
The fluid looks similar to wiper fluid.
any ideas?

That is where the windshield washer fluid tank is. The usual problem is that the hose comes off, and a better clamp is put on.

If that is what it is it has been a long time for such a report as most cars had a better clamp put on long ago.

could it be anti freeze proberly from the radiator hose/blacking cap. this happened to me and i replaced the cap and it worked.

check the water level in the boot. the light wont come on untill its very low, but if any has leaked the water level will be down. You should be able to see it below the MAX level

isn't antifreeze green liquid?
this was blue in color.
Can I change this clamp myself? or does it have to go on a lift?

antifreeze is green or dirty brown if it hasn't been flushed in a while.
