123036, Black Sludgey Liquid
Posted by rhui, Jun-05-06 10:02 AM
Hmm, this morning after pulling my car out from the garage, I noticed two drips of a black sludgey liquid on the floor... it seems to be right under the tranny...

What could this liquid be?

oil from the infamous headgasket leak in cylinder 4 back of the block?

tranny fluid?

a mouse had diarrhea under your car?

Two drops is nothing to worry about.

And what if its consistent after drives longer than 20mins?

I'm slowly learning new things about my car after getting it back from the rebuild :/.
