well I'm a bit down with the mustang lately. I have taken such good care of it, but now that it is over 60k miles it seems to be having one problem after another.

I stayed at a friends house last week for a few days. He called me to tell me that the garage spot where my car was parked has some small yellow puddles where the car appears to have been leaking motor oil.

How should I handle this? money is tight bros.

Try and be more specific for some help? Try and get under it, it can be something simple like a loose oil filter or drain plug. It may not be oil at all? Power steering fluid or coolant? Try and feel around and look to see what and where it's coming from.

it could be the pinion seal, could be cat ****.you need to crawl under there and look.

Yellow puddles?.......coolant or cat.

Yellow wouldn't be oil.... Unless it was brand new, and even then it wouldn't look yellow per say.

Yellow is coolant. Brown/black is oil. Red/brown is tranny fluid...

Do you not know the color of oil

ThaiCobra

Yeah, it's a bright yellowish. but I'm still confused because the coolant stuff i put in is a bright green color. I'm just going on what my friend said over the phone. I've been busy lately and have not had a chance to get under there, but when I take a look I'll get back on here.

Thanks for the help guys.

Okay, I'll bite. Why did you put green antifreeze in your car?

moosestang

why not? Ford says to use theirs is not a good enogh reason. All these manufacturers have a proprietary coolant and it's all BS.
