    Default Leaks from front bar to drivers side door.

    Gday guys. I took my VT v6 for a drive today and when i got home ready for a oil change, i saw there was oil leaking out like crazy from the right hand side of the car.

    Im not sure what it is to be honest. But i know its NOT engine oil!

    There is also leaking from the front, not as bad as the right hand side but it is the same liquid.

    Any idea's on what this could be? And is my car safe to drive?

    it might be transmission oil? Or something to do with my air conditioner as it doesn't work anymore (no cold)

    Hope you guys can help me!
    I can take some pics if you's want to!
    Wanted to go for a nice drive today as its top weather! Guess thats gone down the drain

    As a first step, what colour is the oil? Could have split a power steering cooler hose?

    Power steering cooler?
    I thought the transmission oil ran through that little radiator? Guess its power steering? Because what ever liquid goes into the little rad at the front of the car, is the liquid coming out im pretty sure

    Is it the heater tap that you're referring to?

    Sure was buddy! Grabbed a new heater tap (As the other one had fully corroded and snapped off in 2 hoses)

    All seems to be good now but i will take it on a quick drive to see how it runs. Hopefully thats what was leaking everywhere!
