mehlingfamily Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 I just found my first leak for my 2011 Journey. It is a clear oily Fluid, and looks like to came from the rear of my car. It know it may not be the transmission but cause It is closed. What fluid may it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Need to jack it up and have a look at where it's coming from. You don't mention if you're AWD, so it could be differential fluid if so. You also don't mention if it was right in the middle or on the sides, as in a brake fluid leak. These details can lead you to the area to inspect. You have the vehicle in front of you. Edited July 18, 2018 by jkeaton 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfurth Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 It could also be a leak in the rear AC evaporator coil (just above the right wheel well), or it could be rear shocks. Between the components jkeaton mentioned and these, there really aren't any other fluids back there. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Or. It could be the normal condensation drips from the mufflers. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armando G Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 All great suggestions, or guesses really, but let's be honest there just isn't enough information to really be helpful. As mentioned, which side is it coming from? Have you crawled under there to try and see where it's coming from (you really don't even need to jack it up)? Does it have a color? All your going to get are guesses at best. There are normal fluids disbursed from cars, and there are abnormal fluids. If you really want help, you need to narrow it down in order for people to give you good advise. jkeaton and OhareFred 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemm75 Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 worst case scenario its brake fluid but my guess its condensation coming from the muffler as mention in earlier responds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
