The location of a leak can help you to quickly identify its source, so let’s review some spots where you might see a leak so that you can isolate their issue. Here are some common leak locations and what they mean:
The most common leak is also the easiest to spot. A leak at the front of the vehicle is often going to be your oil and the appearance will tell you right away.
Small fluid leaks next to your tires are usually going to mean that you’re leaking brake fluid.
If you’re got a leak around the front and middle that’s not oil, but rather brown or reddish fluid, then you’re leaking transmission fluid.
Leaks at the front and to the left are generally power steering fluid leaks.
A colorful pink, orange, or green leak underneath the front grill means that you are losing coolant.
Any of these leaks are a good reason to bring your vehicle in for a checkup, but now that you know the locations, you’ll have a better idea of what the problem is when you are going into the shop.

When your radiator is leaking, how far you’ll be able to drive is going to depend on a lot of different factors. For instance, if it’s cold outside and raining, you’ll get more mileage before overheating than you would on a hot summer’s day.
That’s only if you have plenty of coolant, though, and the speed that you are traveling at is also going to make a difference in how quickly your vehicle is going to overheat. As such, it’s really best to pull over and call a tow truck to get your vehicle safely to the shop. The less you risk your engine overheating, the better.
If you’ve noticed that your transmission is leaking, then it’s not a good idea to keep driving your vehicle at all. If it seems to be a very small leak, then a 10 – 15 mile drive to get home or to a shop might be okay, but you really don’t want to push it when it comes to your transmission.
Your best bet is to get your vehicle to the shop right away before it gets worse. Slipping gears, overheating, delayed engagement… or even just a few odd noises are usually going to be soon to follow, so don’t wait. The longer you do, the more expensive the repairs might be and your transmission could fail completely.
A leaky gasket is nothing to trifle with, so if you are noticing signs of leakage, such as puddles, white smoke from the exhaust, or a sweet-smelling engine then you should get your vehicle to the shop right away.
A leaky gasket can quickly lead to overheating and this can do a lot of damage very quickly, so don’t push your luck – Get your vehicle into an expert right away.
