Most vehicles require several fluids to keep the engine and gearbox functioning properly. How can you tell whether a roadside fluid spill is engine oil or something else?
There are five or six possibilities for leaking fluids, depending on the age of your car:
1. Engine Oil - This is normally light, dark brown, or even black in colour, unless it has recently been changed. If it's fresh, it smells like plastic; if it's old, it smells like frying oil. If you're looking at it from the street, it'll be black in colour and, when wet, it'll seem to be a rainbow from certain angles.A heavy engine oil leak will result in a MOT failure so before booking your next MOT testing service, schedule an appointment with a professional mechanic to diagnose where the oil leak is coming from and have this fixed as soon as possible.
2. Fuel (petrol or diesel) - Because of their unique smells, petrol and diesel are typically very straightforward to distinguish. In little volumes, petrol tends to dry out and evaporate fast. It can turn a golden-brown tint when moist. Diesel is a deeper hue with a blue tint to it.
