Question LEAKING fluid! NEED HELP ASAP! * INC. VIDEO*

Hi there,

My 95 5.7 Trans Am starts leaking from under the engine,The fluid is blue colored.. It leaks when engine is running..
The weird thing is it is not "hot" like coolant fluid but same color!
You can see the video and it looks like the "metal pipe" is leaking? What is that pipe? or it is not leaking from there?

Thanks for helping!!

looks like coolant from the back of intake or bottom,
check to see if you are loosing coolant.

get you hands on a pressure tester and preaaurise the system
and see of it holds or looses pressure on the guage and HOW fast.
the while all is cold and engine NOT running start looking with a flashlight
to confirm the location of the leak.

hope it works out for you.

it almost looks like your transmission cooler lines that cool your tranny fluid, but tranny fluid isnt blue unless you are using royal purple trans fluid lol. sure looks like your car is an auto? . your car is an LT1 so im trying to remember what mine had down there. it was a 1995 auto car same as yours but black. check your auto trans cooler lines.

YES, those are trans line.
the coolant is leaking ON TO them.

but they them selves are not leaking.

its only warm cause it had time to cool from dripping down.

check the back of your intake.

Oh I see.. so you say it is not trans lines? If so it may be a bit hard to fix it

Thank you!
