Leaky Celica

[james.peebles]

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!)

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.....
