Put some clean, white paper under car, later, hold paper to light, and try to determine what fluid is leaking. Engine oil is almost always black, transmission fluid red, coolant green or pink, power steering fluid brown, and brake fluid has an almost sticky [ non lubricant ] feel. When you know what fluid is leaking, half your problems are over.

Does your local car wash have a steam gun ? Due to enviromental issues, you may not want to wash undersides of car on your own properety. Washing down under car components is a great help, as leaks get blown tailward by forward motion.

Which engine does it have?
