Help

Ok last night I went to the track everything went fine, ride home was fine, but when I awoke and went to my car I noticed something leaking from the front passenger side of the car pretty much right by were my headers come down, anyway drove to work everything was fine, and the fluid is a clear color which the only thing that I could possibly think of is could one of my nitrous solenoids be leaking? I didn't spray it at the track that's why I don't get why it could be that I only purged it for one of my buddies when we got home?

Re: Help

Probably water drain for the A/C.

Re: Help

But why would it start draining once I get home from the track it never happened before? Also my A/C hasen't been turned on in months I don't if that would have anything to do with it.

Re: Help

Have you had the defroster on? That would run the AC too. The front passenger's side does seem to suggest the AC.

Nitrous is a gas at atmosperic temps. That's not it.

Re: Help

I agree with the others, the only clear liquid other than water condensing off your a/c would be water from your radiator/hoses if you didn't have any coolant/anti-freeze in it. It has to be water unless it smells like gasoline, which means it IS gasoline.

Re: Help

One other possibilty is power steering fluid, it and brake fluid are clear, is it possible that the steering rack is leaking?
