Passat (B6) :: Can't Find The Source Of Leaking Fluid

Fluid coming from my 2006 2.0T Passat:

- Oily feel, pink color (transmission fluid)

- Noticed coming from the middle, or perhaps the front part of the engine compartment, just off center on the drivers side

- Only seen after the car sits overnight, in my garage (no dripping seen for hours after parking)

- Leaves a 10in diameter sized slick on the garage floor that I wipe up with a paper towel in the morning

Suspecting a transmission fluid leak, I paid my dealer a visit and was told, "must be another car leaking, because all your fluids are topped off, your cooling system is holding pressure and your engine compartment is clean."

Celica :: 1988 Steering Pump Leaking / Can't Find Where It Is Coming From

I am replacing my leaking power steering pump. I checked the hose connections and it doesn't appear that the leak is coming from there. I have removed the right front wheel and have the car on jack stands. It is really tight under there.

If I remove the cross member under the power steering pump will that allow me to get the old power steering pump out and the new one back in?

Will the removal and reinstall of the cross member affect alignment.

Passat (B5) :: 2000 - While Replacing Timing Belt Motor Oil Is Leaking?

I have just bought a 2000 passat 1.8t. The car had broken timing belt so i was just planning to replace the timing belt but there is another issue. When i was disassembling the radiator support I took off the intercooler but there was a lot of motor oil so I am not quite sure what is the problem. And do have to rebuild the engine or replace the cylinder head because of the broken timing timing belt. The belt was actually not broken only belt teeth are gone so I think that piston and valves might crashed.

Passat (B5) :: 2004 - Where To Find Tire Pressure

I just got a 2004 passat glx. it's certified pre-owned, but they did not give me a complete manual. (ugh.) I'm trying to figure out the tire pressure. on my old car, there was a label on the driver's side door, but there is no such label on my passat. I read somewhere that the pressure listing is on the inside of the fuel door, but I don't see it there, either. Where can I find it? or What is the proper pressure for a glx, front and back?

Passat (B5) :: Starter Fluid To Find Vacuum Leaks

A friend of mine today told me a good way to find vaccum leaks with starter fluid. Lightly spray it over the vacuum lines on an idling engine until the idle speeds up. Where you were spraying when it sped up is where the leak is. Be careful as it is very flammable. [IMG] [URL] .....

BMW - 323 :: 2000 - Coolant Is Leaking

My car is BMW2000 323i. My coolant is leaking, I need to refill it every month. The dealer told me I need to change the radiator and some related components in the coolant system. But the labor fee is too high.

I was told to use a coolant seal to fix the problem like K-Seal. After a long time searching on the Internet, I got confused. Someone says it works, but other people say it never works. What should I do?

Alero :: Antifreeze Leaking In 2000 V6

I have 3400 engine in 2000 alero (V6 of course). Been having problem with my antifreeze leaking, So I assume the lower intake gasket again(which I have already replace 6 years ago with no problem) but this time after I replace it I notice coffee color oil (antifreeze getting in the oil). So figure I must have done something wrong so I replace the lower intake gasket again making sure I tighten everything with correct torgue. Still the same problem, if not worst. I took the front valve cover off (because I didn't see any coffee color from the back valve cover last time) to see if I can see where the antifreeze is coming from, I can see the the coffee color oozing on the top of the 2 center pushrods and rockers not quite from the gaskets itself (from what I can see) and white steam coming valley (or between the two heads)and notice bubbling on the bottom (not sure if that is normal). Not really into replacing the head gasket, but before I do, I want to make sure first.

LS / MKZ :: 2000 Lincoln V8 Overheating - Antifreeze Leaking

2000 Lincoln ls v8 ... I just replaced degas bottle and cap. I changed because it was leaking antifreeze. Now even with new bottle after I turn car off antifreeze is still coming through degas bottle cap. I was wondering if my problem could be my water pump going bad causing the fluid to boil after engine is shut and building pressure high enough to push through cap?

Toyota - Rav4 :: 2000 - Oil Leaking Frequently

My 2000 Toyota RAV 4 has had an oil leak problem for some time. So far, we have just been checking the oil frequently and adding oil as needed. The problem seems to be getting worse. I have taken it to more than one person and have received more than one recommendation. The car does have 244,000 miles on it so I realize that it would use more oil than a newer car. The last time the oil was checked it was after the car had been driven 136 miles. We added a little over a half quart of oil. Is that extreme? Should I be thinking of getting rid of the car?

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Leaking Right In The Center Of Engine

I bought a 2001 Accent GL 1.6 automatic today, for a good gas millage get around car.. It runs great, no over heating or any of that type of stuff.. When I backed out from the sellers driveway to test drive, I got out to look for leakage anywhere on the driveway.. I saw nothing.. Looked fine. Drove it, then eventually bought the car.. Drove it home, all is fine.. Well my driveway is at about a 45 degree angle not flat at all..

So I pulled into the driveway.. Front end facing upward.. A while later I went out just to look around.. Noticed it leaking right in the center pretty much of engine.. Thought it was oil at first.. But it almost has that gear oil smell to it.. Hint of it anyway.. So, I thought, great.. Pulled it into the garage where it is level ground.. No leaking at all on level ground.. Pulled it back out and parked it on the driveway front end pointed down this time.. No leak.. Just leaking when facing upward on the hill..

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 - Coolant Is Leaking

When my 2000 GTI VR6 sits for a week or two the coolant will run low. There are no leaks that I can find. No coolant in the oil. The crack pipe looks dry. Nothing from the thermostat hosing that I can see. The carpet by the heater core is dry. Nothing that I can see. The thing that is funny is I can drive the car with it 100 degrees outside in Georgia and have no problems with the coolant getting low, or any signs of a leak, smoke or smell. The head gasket and every gasket except the oil cooler and oil stand gasket were replaced about two years ago. The heater core was also replaced at the time. I gave the front pulled loose so I can pressure test the system and look more today.

BMW :: 2000 - Leaking Water When Parked But Also While Driving

I have a 2000 323i BMW and have had water leaking out of it on and off for the past few years. I have tried replacing the hose which has not worked and have been unable to find a leak. Sometimes I refill the car with water and it will be empty in a few hours and there is no clear pattern. It will lose water when it is parked but has also happened when I am driving.
