1993 ponitac bonniville is leaking fluid right by the rear drivers side tire what fluid could this be?
this would be brake fluid have it checked before the brakes fail and you wreck
Can master cylinder be bad and not be leaking fluid?
Yes, There are two sets of internal seals and a rear seal. The internal seals can fail and the cylinder will retain the Brake fluid, it just wont work correctly.
What is a sentence using the word reservoir?
The reservoir was filled when the dam began to fail. The radiator level is maintained by a small separate reservoir of fluid.
Can your vehicle fail inspection from a leaking strut?
no
Why you smell radiator fluid?
If you are smelling the sweet but unpleasant aroma of antifreeze, your vehicle is leaking it somewhere. A lot of the time the culprit is the water pump. They have a weep hole and when the bearing starts to fail it will begging leaking from this hole. I would start by getting myself a flashlight and start scanning your engine's water hoses for a leak. Check the mail hoses going to/from the radiator as well as the heater hoses leading to the firewall. Do you smell the antifreeze odor INSIDE the car? If so, it could be your heater core that's failing.
How hot does the water in the radiator get after it overheats?
The cooling system is closed, and unlike NASCAR there is no fail safe way for fluid to escape if it overheats. instead the pressure will force the fluid through the weakest point in the system. Usually where the hoses meet the radiator or the block are where you will first notice the gas escaping
What causes the radiator hoses to flatten out?
Radiator hoses are made of rubber and over time these units fail due to the environment. When they fail the rubber can get dry rotted which will cause the lines to flatten and crack.
What happens if you put brake fluid in where the transmission fluid goes?
The transmission will fail.
What causes an automatic transmission to fail to up-shift?
a bad radiator -automatic portion of radiator not cooling off transmission
What is the Cause of radiator cap breaking?
The spring on the bottom of a radiator cap will cause it to fail. If the spring does not work properly it can lead to pressure escaping from the radiator which can overheat the vehicle.
What happens if power steering into radiator?
All the cooling system hoses will go soft and then fail leading to over heat and engine damage. If enough power steering fluid in in the cooling system the engine will over heat and fail. Drain all fluid, use dish washer soap and fresh clean water and run until engine at normal operating temp. Do this twice and flush with fresh clean water three times. Refill system with specified coolant. If this is the very rare kind of car that has power steering cooled by radiator the power steering pump and gear (rack and pinion assembly usually) will fail.
Will an ignition coil fail at a higher rpm under load but not at idle?
Yes it would
