A rare owner at least once did not notice an incomprehensible wet spot under the car. Driving expert Alexey Revin said it might leak.
1. Fuel
Most modern cars have the tank under the back seat. If a puddle has formed in the front, immediately call a tow truck: whether the fuel line or the fuel pump is leaking.
A diesel leak is slightly less dangerous: diesel fuel will not just flare up. If the malfunction occurred on the way, you can try to go to a suitable place.
2. Brake fluid
This is a very dangerous leak. It does not form a large puddle (in a car the brake fluid is less than a liter), but the journey can end very quickly and with bad consequences.
3. Engine oil
Whether you can continue depends on how much oil is left. If the level has not reached the lower mark on the dipstick, please do. If it is lower, you need to add oil, otherwise engine parts will wear out faster due to lack of lubrication.
While driving, we look at the instrument panel to see if the emergency oiler lights up. Even with a flashing signal device, it is unacceptable to continue driving.
4. Coolant
An antifreeze leak is only good because in extreme cases you can add water and get to the place of repair in short bursts.
5. Exhaust pipe
The only leak that should cause positive emotions in the owner. As soon as it drips, it means that the combustion is almost complete – water is formed.
But that’s not all: you can find six other possible leaks here.
