I have clear thin greasy liquid leaking by the front passenger side tire of 2006 chevy impala. Sometimes the cooling gauge in car goes up and then comes by down, really not sure if the two are related or not.
thank you
Re: I have clear thin greasy liquid leaking by the front...
Check the cooling system for leaks and make sure radiator and resivoir are filled. Glycerine, the main ingrediant of coolant is thin and oilly, it has a distinct odor.. let me know if I can help you further..MK

check that this is no a/c condensate from the ac unit inside the car. The condensate formed by the cooling action of the air inside the car drains out a hose on one side about the wheel area
yea they are right right undo the hoses from the coolant container to to the radiator and the hose from the radiator to the engine and let it all drain out then put it back on and put some new radiator fluid in the radiator until ist full and then put some more in the container for extra make sure to put both hoses back on
On a GM the odd cylinders are on the driver's side, front to back. The even numbered cylinders are on the passenger's side, front to back so #4 would be the second one back on the passenger's side. Hope this helps.
Check the front passenger side carpet and make sure it is dry. If it is wet, the heater core up under the dash is leaking, which is why you smell it in the cab.
I assume that you are talking about your air conditioning. The passenger side blows cold and the drivers side is warm. I had the same problem on a couple of my cars, including my 2002 Impala.
I also assume that you know how to use the climate controls for driver vs. passenger.
You need some freon. It may not need very much... maybe 8-12 ounces.
if you're semi-skilled, you can try it yourself with a kit from the parts store. The dealer or shop will charge you at least $125 and they will look for the leak.
It sounds like you have a slow leak, and that could be tough to find.
It seems that Midas is going to stand behind the work that they did on your car. If there is something happening that they haven't already diagnosed, they should be able to tell you that, too.
My guess is that the green liquid you saw was coolant coming from the overflow of the coolant recovery tank because the system is overheating and the excess pressure is forcing coolant out. There may still be air in the cooling system, or possibly air is getting into the system from a bad head gasket or crack in the head or block. Check to see if there is any evidence of oil in the coolant, or if there is water in the crankcase -- the oil on the dipstick will look 'milky'.
