Fluid leaks can be caused by various issues, depending on the color and location of the leak. Common leaks include engine oil (brown or black), coolant (green or orange), transmission fluid (red), or brake fluid (clear or yellow). Leaks may result from worn seals, damaged hoses, or loose connections. It’s best to have a mechanic inspect the leak to identify the source and prevent potential damage to your vehicle.
It’s also important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and keep an eye on any warning lights or unusual performance issues that may indicate the need for earlier maintenance. Regular servicing helps ensure that key components like the diesel particulate filter (DPF), fuel injectors, and turbocharger remain in good condition.
