FLUID LEAKS
Fluid leaks can apply to multiple different systems used in the vehicle. Leaks can be a common cause of concerns
within these systems. Procedures that are used for checking leaks can apply to multiple systems.
When diagnosing fluid leaks, refer to the appropriate “Level Inspection” procedure, Fluid Inspection page 1.59, or the
appropriate chapter in the Service Manual before proceeding with any repairs or parts replacement.
FLUID INSPECTION
OVERVIEW
Multiple vehicle systems will contain different fluids or lubricants within the system.
These fluids should be inspected for condition and level. Refer to Fluid Condition and the appropriate level check
within the Service Manual for more information.
Most of these systems should be inspected for leaks using the same methods. Refer to Fluid Leak for more
information.
FLUID LEAK
Perform the following inspection prior to replacement of any seals or gaskets.
1. Inspect the fluid level prior to any checks to verify that the system is currently leaking.
NOTICE
If the system is not low at this time, clean and continue to monitor. It is possible that the fluid is residual from
manufacturing or previous repairs.
2. Thoroughly clean the area using an appropriate cleaner (Brake cleaner, Throttle Body cleaner, Soap, etc.) prior to
diagnosing the leak.
3. Operate the vehicle under the condition that the leak presented and re-inspect for leak.
4. Pinpoint location of leak. Check for any damage to parts and repair the leak as necessary.
NOTICE
If the leak can not be pin-pointed using this method, the leak may require dye to be added to the system, operated
and inspected for leaks using a UV light.
FLUID CONDITION
Refer to the appropriate “Level Check” procedure for the fluid being inspected. When the fluid is inspected it should
be compared to NEW recommended replacement fluid.
INSPECTION ITEMS CAUSE
Inspect for the following:
• Unusual Color
• Unusual Odor
• Fluid Contamination
• The fluid has been contaminated with another fluid
(cross-contamination, ex. Oil mixing with Coolant).
• Fluid overheated
• Natural fluid breakdown (replace fluid per
recommended maintenance interval / fluid
replacement procedure).
• If a fluid is contaminated with metal or debris, suspect
that there is a mechanical failure causing the fluid
contamination. Refer to the Service Manual
information related to the system in question.
