    I have seemed to narrowed down the location of my leak. On closer inspection it is actually coming from the area under the battery in the front end of the car. It is an oily blue coloured fluid and the leak is also very slow as well. I have been storing the car for the winter and the leak does not seem to be getting bigger very fast and I am almost certain it is not windshield wiper fluid.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    With Best Regards,
    Gerge

    Either brake fluid or coolant.

    Nothing works as well as getting under there and taking a peek.

    Have you checked to see if the wiper fluid is leaking out. Also have you checked to see if your brake fluid is full. If it is blue and watery it sounds like the washer bottle is leaking or a hose is leaking. The bottle is over the top of the battery area.If you go under the car you need to remove the inspection cover and you will be able to see what is leaking. You need to get it on a lift and look.

    Hi Steve, Rifledriver and Synchro,

    Thanks for your input guys the leak is coming from the wiper fluid reservoir as it was just a loose hose.
    I was wondering how the A/C was working in your cars? Mine is okay but not that great.

    Thanks for the help,
    George

    P.S. This online commuity is awesome!
