Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

24 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, After washing my car, i drove it back to the parking lot. After afew hours i realised there was some kind of fluid leaking. Does not smell like coolant. Its Oily but does not smell like oil. Coming from the right side of the engine bay/engine area. Its all over the right side of the engine mount area ... Anyone got ides? Cheers

POST 3Original post

Are you sure it is not just water runoff from the washing?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I m thinking power steering fluid too ... A hose? Yes it is a TIP. Cheers

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 9160129

Definitely not as the fluid is oily.

POST 7Original post

Are you sure it's not the fluid from your engine mount? Normally there isn't enough in it to leave a puddle, but since you said it was specifically on the mount that might be what you're seeing. -Shawn

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Highly doubt its the mounts. My mounts are 3 months old and there is too much of this "fluid" to be coming from the mounts. hmmmm... Cheers

POST 11Original post

Wow, sensitive? Get a sense of humor and relax. You'll live longer.

POST 12Original post

FWIW, I have seen mounts go bad right out of the box. They can release more fluid than you might expect. Dark like coffee, and slightly oily. Lift the engine slightly with a jack (from the correct location) and see if leaking occurs.

hahaha. Nice 1 ...

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 9160922

The fluid that is leaking isnt dark like coffee. More like Transparent like steering fluid, i suppose?

Fresher the mounts, cleaner the fluid. Lifting to check is free.

POST 17Original post

Ignore or Ban +1 Who put the mounts in? Last thing done is always suspect (Right Macster?) Check the power steering level? Is it down?

POST 18Original post

Young cosmoline mating season? Or is it too early in the year? Any chance there was gunk in the air filter box and road wind flew it into that area? Maybe check in the airbox for signs of oil. I'd suspect that if your filter is an oiled one. er uh reasoning is water going through air foild slots going into air intake travelling from left to right and semi pooling on bottom where DRAIN HOLES SHOULD BE then coming out more while travelling if your drain holes aren't that big. Hence getting blown up into that area. Bad drain holes could have a swamp of gunk in there.

POST 19 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Turns out to be a leaking power steering hose ... AHH!!

POST 21Original post

Did it get broken during the motor mount installation?

POST 22 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 9166960

Nope. My motor mounts were installed about 4 months ago .. I found it cracked after i washed the car. ??? hahaha weird

POST 23Original post

That power steering fluid eats stuff so make sure it is cleaned up and keep an eye on any hoses or plastics it got on.
