    I have a 2000 360 that I just put away for the winter about 1 month ago. Today I was out in the garage and took a look under the car and noticed a leak beneath the car under the engine. It appears to be under the pan that you would remove to change the oil. The liquid is not dark like engine oil or even has a smell like it could be engine oil. There was enough there that it soaked two paper towels. I am looking for opinions on what I should check first. I do not want to start the car to check oil for fear of possibly damaging anything. Should I put the car up on jacks and remove any of the pans to observe anything? Any info would be appreciated as I am a little nervous. Car only has 7500 miles. Thanks for any help

    Grab your camera phone and go snap a picture of it. Different liquids mean different things, and that area could have hydraulic fluid, engine oil, transmission fluid, clutch fluid, etc.

    Post the pic here. Welcome to the digital age!

    I would love to snap a picture of fluid to post but unfortunately we are currently experiencing a nasty snowstorm to the point that I cannot back the car up when I open the garage door. Snow is too deep. I will manage to get a picture somehow though as soon as I can. Thank you for the help though!
