Ok. I looked under the car and there was a little puddle of brown leak on the ground. it seemed too thin to be oil and doesnt smell like oil. plus i just did an oil change so i dont think my oil would be that dark already.

SO im guessing thats power steering fluid? and you are probably right FivePointOhh!

I looked under neath the car by the rear tire on the drivers side ( where the warped flat tire rubbing noise was comming from lastnight ) and i found that my brake line has woren down on one side from the tire rotating and rubbing it.

Is it possible that when someone sits in the back seat it lowered that end and put pressure on the tire? causing it to rub against that black line and rubbing the rubber right down to metal? This is what im guessing happend? SO im gonna unbolt the clamp holding onto the brake line and move it over an inch or two and see if that helps!

ANOTHER ISSUE:

Theres this connector that goes into my exhaust ( right infront of my cats ) that is now hanging from the car ( disconnected ) and the end is damaged from dragging on the ground so i cant reconnect it )... There are two of them ( one going into each exhaust pipe before the cats ) because i got duel exhaust..

What is it? and do i need to replace it?
