Fluid leaks are something most Shelburne, VT drivers will encounter eventually. The source of the leak can be a mystery, leading to stress and worry. The MINI of Burlington team has put together an overview of the most common fluid leaks to help demystify the problem.
If you notice steam coming from your hood or your vehicle seems to be taking longer than usual to warm up, a coolant leak could be the culprit. If your engine seems to be running hot or overheating, this could be an anti-freeze leak that requires attention to avoid an expensive repair.
Some leaks could cause serious safety risks. One of these is a brake fluid leak, either in the line or caused by worn pads. Having trouble stopping is an indicator of a brake leak. A power steering fluid leak should also be serviced right away and can be identified if you hear a hissing noise from the engine.
