okay, so i made that post about the Ciera, and guess what? being the cool as a polar bear's toenails 20 year old i am, i opted to go for something sportier. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/str.gif
i got a '97 Pontiac Sunfire. great car, by the way, but i'm having a little bit of trouble.
there seems to be a leak. after checking it out i think i've pin-pointed it. there's a small red connector on the battery (on the left side towards the engine), and there are two red tubes covered in a heavier black, ribbed tubing, that are both running from that junction. one runs down and into the engine, the other runs up and away from the engine, around the back of the battery. when i jiggle the tubes @ that junction, i can get the liquid to fall in a couple drops @ a time. and where it's leaking from, it sorta pools into the battery tray b4 it really starts to leak noticably.
the liquid is a very pale yellow, with a sweet taste. kinda like vanilla extract, only with some tangy kick to it, y'know?
anyways, it just started leaking the other day, and so far, no engine lights have come on (altho i haven't been driving the vehicle).
based on my lacking description, does anyone here have any ideas on what it is leaking?
i'm looking for help 'cause the car is still under warranty, and they'll fix it free of charge some 3 hours away. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/duh2.gif
