I am visiting a friend on the east coast and we are digging out of the big snow that hit the mid-Atlantic states. (My car is not in a garage.) As we cleaned part of the driveway, I got in my car without cleaning it off to move it forward a bit. When I got out, I noticed a yellow (with possibly a slight green tint) discoloration of the snow that had packed under the center-rear of the car.
It wasn't much, but it is disconcerting. I scooped up some of the discolored snow and it had no odor that I could smell. It came from the area roughly centered between my back wheels. (I pulled forward, so no part forward of the back end of my car was over this area.) It didn't feel like oil, but my fingers were frozen at this point and I couldn't really tell.
I use red Toyota antifreeze, so I don't think it could be that. Plus that would be at the front (as would most of the usual suspects). What could leak from the center rear area of an '03 Camry? (It's 4- cylinder, FWIW.)
I don't want to drive it, even to a dealer/repair shop, if doing so might cause more damage.
Does anyone have any ideas as to the source of the fluid?
TIA!
BTW, I hadn't cleaned off the car when I moved it the 12 feet or so, so there was 24+ inches of snow on it at the time.
