    1993 Ford Taurus Leaking fluids
    :eek: I have a ford taurus 1993, got it used off my uncle,
    I have noticed that near the hood to the middle, or possibly the driver side of the car, There is a small leak, the fluid appears to be clear, and odorless.

    My girlfriend also seems to think, there may possibly be a leak near the trunk of the car,
    This is my first car, So I'm not very knowledgeble in this field, Im hoping maybe someone can point something out, Even maybe some estimates,

    Also, This might be useful. Under the hood of the car, There is a hose which is connected to the engine oil, I believe, Well this hose is bended, and does not look securely connect.

    Can anybody give me some information on this, What tips can I do, To identify the problem, I don't have much money to fix whatever problem may arrise with my vehicle, or whatever is already going on with it,

    I know there's not much you can do either, Because you cannot see the problem physically, Any information would be good, Thanks for your time.

    You are smart to stop and examine leaks. Could the fluid be water from the A/C evaporator drain? If so, there's nothing to worry about. The drain should be on the passenger's side firewall.

    The best advice I can give you is to change the engine oil and filter regularly. I recommend you use full-synthetic engine oil (e.g. 5W-30 Mobil 1) and change it every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Likewise, be sure to get the transmission fluid changed--drop and clean the pan, change the filter, and refill with Mobil 1 Synthetic Multi-Vehicle ATF. Change it again every 30,000 miles. If you take care of the engine and transmission, everything else that goes wrong is relatively minor.

    Here are some other recommended maintenance tips that will save you lots of money, if you follow them:

    It's important to play "good defense" in life, to get ahead financially. That's what preventive maintenance is all about.
