355 Whitish fluid sprayed out of engine

Anti freeze?

 

I would check the cap and hoses near that spray

Did you have a service done or change coolant recently ?

 

If you don't see leak or had the coolant changed recently ..consider changing cap and wiping down area and re check after a drive

 

It is the cap on that rectangular tank right behind the power steering reservoir in your picture. Wait for the engine to cool before opening up that cap.

It looks like whatever it is, is being slung by the belt. My guess is coolant but even still I can't say 100%. Did you look at the front of the engine?

 

1. Broken or leaking coolant line.
1. Bad water pump.

 

The blue capped hoses are for fuel. I think you'd know if they were leaking from the smell of fuel... and the engine fire. The source is most likely elsewhere (as mentioned)

 

That certainly looks like coolant with the more detailed shot. I know yelcab and Quavion have already answered your question on the fuel block. You'd certainly smell fuel. My guess is that your water pump needs a rebuild. This is a much better problem than leaking fuel.

 

How close are you to a major service?

 

I would try to find the source of the leak first. Can you take it to someone who can do a basic pressure test on the coolant system? It might just be a loose hose.

The pump is right in the middle of the engine, so it is hard to get to from above and below.

 

Your engine out major just came early. Really, this is your chance to get your newly bought car to the care level you want to have. I bet there are a few more surprises waiting for you. Say ... engine mounts, CV boots, slipping clutch ...

 

Have you checked the coolant tank and oil tank for signs of mixing. I'm not sure how you can have a brown, non-smelling fluid. The "natural gas" smell is also puzzling. Refrigerant leak? Is your airconditioning system/compressor working properly?
