Oil leak? or maybe not?
Hi,
Just got my Z after 2 years of saving $$$. The car has 150 miles now. Anyhow, i noticed a small puddle of fluid on the garage floor (driver-side engine bay, just a little behind the front axle). The first thing i thought of was the oil leak problems that has been mentioned in the forum. But i dropped a piece of tissue paper to soak up the fluid. ---> Surprise..the fluid is clear and a few drop liquid splattered onto the side and they beaded up(like water.) In retrospect, i should have rub some of that liquid over my hand and feel the consistency.
Anyhow.. the fluid doesn't have the amber/light brown color of motor oil i am used to seeing. It..well... looks like water. Anyone have any idea where it is from?
thanks
