Not all puddles are created equal. A clear puddle is probably just condensation from the AC, completely normal, no panic required. Orange or pink usually means transmission or coolant. Brown or black with a heavier consistency points to oil or brake fluid, and that’s the one that gets our attention fast. The color and the location under the car tell us almost everything before we even pop the hood.
If you’re not sure what you’re looking at, a photo and a quick call goes a long way.
Send us the puddle, we’ll send you an answer. Link in bio.
