Brake fluid? :S

Never heard of pink coolant, though it is a StreetKa!

 

[stoddie]

screenwash?

just a random guess - i know you can get green screenwash when its undiluted....

 

[stoddie]

that wetter water coolant is pink!

 

[Clart]

so whats the green stuff leaking?

 

[Williams025]

IIRC most hydraulic fluid is green, usually meaning brakes or power steering fluid.

 

[Clart]

i thought brake fluid was a browny colour

 

[Williams025]

On my old clio it was green (mk 1 diesel), I'm not sure if the colour varies.

Power steering fluid in a Clio is a red colour. Brake fluid is brown and oil like.

 

[stoddie]

check the colour of the screenwash and the colour of her coolant - maybe shes got mixed up.

brake fluid is brown....

hydrauilc oil is brownish also...
