Hello everyone! I did an Castrol GTX oil change about 2 weeks ago. Then some kind of liquid keep leaking out of the car. The color of the liquid is green. Is it coolant or something? Is it a serious issue or expensive to fix? The weird thing is that the leak came right after the oil change. I don't know what cause the leak. Any suggestions on what I can do now?

 

yeah its coolant if its green or red, and they might have filled it up and you might have had a crack in the container, or it could be a hose going to the radiator just take it to a shop and ask if they can check for a coolant leak

 

it's nuclear waste...

Questions:
1. Did you do the oil change or someone else?
2. Where are you seeing it leaking from? (look from above and below, for the highest most forward point)

If someone else did the change, ask if they did anything at all with the coolant. i.e. - topping off, etc. If they did, and its more than just spillage from adding too much, they should be responsable for fixing it.

Could be leaking from ANYWHERE the coolant travels. Coolant hoses, reservoir, the radiator itself, coolant pump, block (hopefully not)

 

its coolant. You probably have a leak. Search your coolant lines, radiator, and find where it's leaking from. If someone did the work then take it too them and have them check what happened. Otherwise it's probably just ironic timing because there is really no way to f*ck up the coolant lines or radiator when changing oil.
