GENERAL INFORMATION

Existence of pools on a floor of a garage or the engine, or obvious humidity under a cowl or on the lower part of the car, assume leak which needs to be found and to eliminate immediately. Can be sometimes difficult to define the place of leak, especially, if the motor compartment is strongly polluted. Leak of oil or liquid can be also demolished by an air stream under the car back, making a false impression about where leak is.

Engine oil can filter from a drain stopper.

Engine oil can filter through the bases of an oil filter.

Oil can filter through consolidations on the internal ends of power shafts.

Antifreeze leak often leaves a transparent raid.

Leaks in wheels can be only from brake fluid.

Liquid for the amplifier of steering can filter from pipe connectors on the shelf of management.
