Reasons Behind Clear Fluid Leaking From Your Car
2
Like every other machine, your car also requires
regular servicing and maintenance to run smoothly
and perform at its optimal level.
3
All the parts of a car are intricately related to
each other, if there is something wrong with one
of the parts, then it is just a matter of time
before other parts related to it also malfunction.
4
However, people tend to be complacent when it
comes to maintaining their car. This results in
the malfunctioning of some components.
5
Most of the time when there is something wrong
with the car, then you can notice various
symptoms, which warn you of the impending problem.
6
Similarly, if you ever notice clear fluid leaking
from your car, then it is an indication that
there is something wrong with one or more parts.

Working Mechanism
8
For your car to run efficiently and smoothly, it
requires many different fluids. Most of the
fluids that are required by the car are filled
and refilled through reservoirs in the engine bay.
9
Whenever you come across liquid pooling beneath
the engine as it is a commonplace to locate any
leaks in your car.
10
If your car is leaking a clear fluid, then it
could be due to a number of reasons based on the
location of the leak.
11
Moreover, water leaks tend to occur on the front
of the vehicle, if condensation forms in the
car's air conditioning system.
12
Similarly, brake fluid leaks are noticeable
around the middle or back of the car and are seen
directly under the path of the car's brake lines
and around the wheels.
13
Reason behind the leak
14
Work from A/C
15
Whenever you witness clear fluid leaking from the
front of the car, then it is water. This occurs
because of the running of A/C where condensation
forms on the component in the A/C called the
evaporator.
16
Consequently, water droplets fall beneath the
engine bay area. You need to inspect the leak to
be sure that it is water which is leaking from
your car.
17
Failing brake lines
18
If you come across clear fluid leaking from the
middle of the car, then this is due to the
failing brake lines.
19
The new brake fluid appears clear in color and
with progressive use it changes color to yellow
and in its last phase becomes brown in color.
20
With their consistent use brake lines become
older and begin to rust, ultimately they fall
off, which causes the brake fluid to leak beneath
the car.
21
However, if you come across brake fluid leaking
from the wheel area, then this is caused due to
the worn wheel cylinder seals.
22
Leakage in the gas tank
23
If you notice clear fluid leaking from the back
of the car, then it is gasoline.
24
Out of all the substance that might leak from the
car, gasoline is the easiest substance to
identify because of its unique smell and
appearance like a rainbow when seen on the ground
in the light.
25
The gasoline also leaks due to the same reason
as the brake fluid due to the filler neck and the
tank rusting out.
26
Conclusion
27
From our above discussion, you can know the
reasons behind clear fluid leaking from your car.
From this, you can conclude that preventive
maintenance is the best way to avoid such type of
situations.
28
However, if the problem occurs after you are
sticking to your maintenance schedule, then you
can always seek the assistance of a technician to
