Leaking fluid

[mtbwilson]

I just noticed that in the last 24 hours I have a grey-ish clear fluid leaking from by my driver’s side rear suspension. Does anyone know what it could be?

I actually just collected a few drips, and the fluid is blue-ish, and it looks like it’s leaking from both sides near the rear suspension.

1) have you confirmed it’s not water?

2) what year/model is your car?

If it’s oily/viscous and not water, it can really only be three things:

Coolant (has an obvious blue hue)
Drive unit oil (reddish)
Brake fluid (most likely given your grayish-clear definition).

It’s easy enough to check the level of your brake fluid reservoir by popping off the upper trim panel in the frunk.

That is battery coolant, 100%.

Yup

Probably best not to drive it and call roadside assistance to have it towed to your nearest service center

Maybe wiper fluid since it’s blue as well

I had a vehicle alert of low coolant before seeing any fluid on ground. It was blue. Alert stated ok to drive. SC topped off for me prior to official appointment next week to diagnose.
