Troubling signs on garage floor.
My 99 95 leaves three different fluid spots that concern me. I would
appreciate any help identifying these spots.
Spot 1: Bright green collant that appears intermittently. Amount
ranges from 2-4 tablespoons and is located near the right side of the
car, about the middle of the engine. I keep having to refill the
coolant reservoir every 3-4 weeks. Water pump?
Spot 2: Pretty good oil spot located at the left rear of the engine.
When we got the car, the interior had a funny oily kind of smell (still
does) and when I asked what was causing the smell, the dealer said it
was an oil leak associated with the CV system. I've noticed from
searching the discussion groups that there was(is) a problem with this
CV system. Do I need to replace these components and if so, can I find
them online versus buying at the dealer? Is there a complete
replacement kit available?
Spot 3: The air conditioner usually leaves a pool of water from it's
drain. One day (it's only happened once) there was a puddle of rusty
water on the floor. Is this a sign of future problems? Does this car
hava a history of AC drain pan rusting or failure? Could the smell in
spot 2 be from the AC system having problems?
Thanks again for any response.
