• Antifreeze Fluid Leak – If you notice a patch of thick fluid that is yellow, pink, or green in colour around or under your car, it may indicate that you have an antifreeze leak.
• Steering Fluid Leak – This type of leak typically occurs around the front area of the car. The fluid can either be brown or red in colour and it is usually thin.
