green or orange liquid under car · coolant drips on driveway
A colored puddle (usually green, orange, pink or blue) appears under the car after it has been parked for a while.
Note the puddle color and exactly where under the car it appears (front, center, side) - this helps narrow down which component is leaking before a workshop visit.
Check the coolant level before driving. A small, stable leak may allow a short trip, but do not ignore it - a coolant leak can lead to overheating.
Describe your situation more precisely (e.g. exactly when it gets worse, how long it lasts) and get an expanded, personalized breakdown.
