car is leaking fluid.. not sure what it is
car is leaking fluid.. not sure what it is i noticed that the trans am is leaking fluid. seems to be leaking right under the block somewhere/the front of the car. the fluid itself has a red tint to it. so before i started it up, i checked all the fluids. the only fluid that was low was the coolant. trans fluid was a tiny low, but not bad at all.
after starting it up, i let it run for a good 20 mins and it never overheated, made any weird sounds, or anything out of the ordinary. so im alittle confused about what this "mystery fluid" could be. i always thought that coolant was green or blue.. and if it was really low on coolant, wouldn't it overheat pretty quick?
any one have any suggestions or help?

Degrease the bottom of the car. tranny, engine and accessories and all hoses linked to and from everything. Once cleaned and dry place a big enough piece of CLEAN cardboard under the engine bay and transmission and run the car til its at running temp and let cool down til you can touch it. cardboard will show where its leaking from and it should be clean so any fresh fluid will clearly show up.
