Green Fluid...

E90Company · 07-18-2012, 10:27 PM

Hello,

I went out to look at the car tonight, and noticed two small drops of clear fluid with a green tint on the rim, front drivers side. They were literally two drops, nothing more. It had the viscosity of water, and had a smell to it. Any ideas as to what this could be? Thanks

Coolant?

My first thoughts were power steering fluid; but If the drops were on your wheel that wouldn't make much sense... Aybe someone what drinking Absinthe next to your car?? Lol

coolant is blue

(unless changed from oem)

Beemw335 · 07-19-2012, 08:34 PM

Coolant is my guess.

Coolant for sure, the coolant turns green with time.

Yea coolant dries greenish even tho it's blue.
Our powersteering/clutch fluid should be similar to oil color.
Nothing should be green

Power steering is out of the equation here?
