james.peebles Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hi people, you'll have to forgive me and my appaling lack of technical knowledge but Ive just been out in the 205 and noticed a small wet patch under the front of the car - funky smell with a pinkish tint to it. looked under the bonnet (not sure why lol) and checked all the reservoir levels and all looked good, however, I cant see the level on the coolant reservoir. To be honest the fill line is so far down i couldnt quite see it properly anyway. Ive probably answered my own question here but if anyone has the knowledge I lend you my ears (but i want them back!)

arizona Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) did you look at the power steering level? think you'll find thats a pinky colour. i had a big pink patch wherever i parked from under front of the car and then the power steering got noisy.....
