Well let's hope this is nothing significant said every person working on their car ever.
What's happening: Coolant leak on the passenger side.
Relevant details:
What's happening: Coolant leak on the passenger side.
Relevant details:
- 2008 / 72,000 miles / Took ownership 2 weeks ago / Was in California up until 7 months ago / Entire undercarriage was pristine 2 weeks ago
- Noticed power steering fluid (PSF) was black and milky 2 weeks ago, replaced PSF 2 weeks ago, PSF now light brown and milky.
- PSF was changed due to steering vibrating at extreme ends of turning.
- Coolant has been clean orange looking the entire time.
- Low coolant message 1 week ago, filled coolant to appropriate level 5 days ago, low coolant message today.
- No puddle until today (passenger side).
- Seems to only leak when on.
- Radiator looks good (to my untrained eye).
- My first guess is water pump or leak into PSF system.
