Do you have a/c in the truck? Just wondering if it's water from the condenser. How much is under the engine? Are any fluids going down and have to be topped off occasionally? Power steering and auto trans fluid are pink, coolant is green, so the only 2 possibilities would be engine oil or brake fluid. Post answers to above for further help.

- Let me know how the brake fluid level is.

- The cap that you can't read, and is too full, do you think it's the power steering? Dip a paper towel or tissue into it, it should be pinkish-red if it is. The brake fluid reservoir is located on the drivers side, mounted on the 'firewall', which is the back of the engine compartment, near the windshield.

- Here's a picture of the brake fluid cover. Hope I can post it to you!

May 04, 2009

- Well, I had the pic but it didn't show up in my posting. I'll try to get a link to a site so you can see what it looks like. It's not a 'stick' type thing, just a rectangular cover held down by one or two metal rods that go over the top of the cover.

- wow, here's the link to see what the top of the brake master cylinder looks like. Curt
