Fluid leaks can indicate various problems with your vehicle, some more urgent than others. Here are the most common fluid leaks that can occur.
Engine Oil
Engine oil is typically brown or black, lubricates engine parts, and prevents overheating. An oil leak may manifest as dark stains on the ground or a burning odor from the engine.
Brake Fluid
Brake fluid has a clear or light brown appearance and can lead to a spongy brake pedal. Promptly addressing these leaks is crucial for braking performance and safety.
Transmission Fluid
Transmission fluid, red or pink with a sweet aroma, lubricates and cools transmission gears and components. A leak may show as a reddish stain or grinding noises while shifting gears.
Power Steering Fluid
Power steering fluid aids in smooth and easy car steering. A leak may lead to a small puddle in the front or result in a stiff or noisy steering wheel. Visit our service center today at Mark Allen Buick GMC in Collinsville, OK.
