Light brown liquid...
Got a light brown liquid coming from under car. I am going to jack it up tommorrow and look in depth. Recently replaced front struts and springs, but nothing else. Exhaust flex pipe is broken, but leak just started happening after mod above. Not sure what it could be, has been leaking for about 4 days just found out from girlfriend driving it Now I have to find out what is wrong.
Any ideas from anyone? Check tranny fluid and appears to still be in there. Gears are not slipping...

Its not the oil. It has an oily feel, but its definitely not the oil. too light. Almost like a burgundy/brown color.

if its towards the front it might be your coolant. Mine went in green and came out brown when hot.
