Why Vehicle Fluid Leaks Should Never Be Ignored

Fluid leaks are one of the most common signs of vehicle problems, and addressing them promptly is crucial to avoid costly repairs and safety risks. At Autopia Bloomington, we specialize in identifying and repairing fluid leaks to keep your vehicle in top condition.

Common Fluid Leaks to Watch For

  • Oil leaks: These can lead to engine wear and even failure if not addressed promptly. Signs include dark puddles under your car or a burning oil smell.
  • Coolant leaks: These can cause engine overheating, leading to severe engine damage. Look for green, orange, or pink fluid under the vehicle or a sudden rise in engine temperature.
  • Brake fluid leaks: These compromise braking efficiency and create serious safety risks. A spongy brake pedal or yellowish fluid near the wheels can indicate a problem.
