If it s clear, watery, and under the air conditioner: It s probably normal condensation if you ve used the air conditioner recently.

If it s black or dark brown, greasy, and located under the engine area: It s probably oil. Figure out which part of the vehicle was over the spot. Look under the hood around the oil filter and the engine and under the vehicle for leaks around the oil drain plug, the crankcase, and the oil pan below it.

If it s thick, black or tan oily liquid: Gear oil may be leaking from a manual transmission, the differential, an axle, or the steering gears. Any of these leaks needs immediate attention.

If it s red, pink, or reddish-brown and greasy and you have an automatic transmission: It s probably transmission fluid. Check the transmission dipstick, and if the level is low, top it off with the proper transmission fluid. Then check the dipstick again in a day or two. If it s low again, have a professional check the transmission to make sure that the seals are intact.

If it s watery or slippery; green, red, blue, or yellow; and is coming from under the radiator or engine: It s probably coolant. Check the radiator, pressure cap, engine, and hoses for leaks.

If it s oily; pink, red, or clear; and you find it toward the front bumper usually on the driver s side : It s probably power-steering fluid. The power-steering system is sealed and shouldn t lose fluid.

If it s a light-colored or clear fluid: It may be brake fluid. Even if the leaks have dried, the stains should be visible. Leaky brakes are too dangerous to leave unattended. Have a professional repair any brake fluid leaks immediately.

If it smells like rotten eggs: It s battery acid. Avoid getting it on your hands or clothes and have the battery replaced.

If it smells like gasoline: It probably is. If the smell is coming from under the hood, check around the fuel pump and the fuel injectors or the carburetor if your vehicle has one. If the leak seems to be under the center of the vehicle, check the fuel lines. If it s under the rear end, check the fuel tank. Don t smoke while you do this.
