Is the rear parking brake mechanism rebuilable I have fluid leaking at at the retention bolt

Fluid Leaking from Car: My automobile has a clear liquid leak.
It's probably just water if your car is leaking a clear, water-like liquid. A transparent liquid could also be used as a coolant, albeit unlike water, it will most likely have a coloured tinge (green, blue, or yellow) and an odor. For additional information about leaking coolant, see the sections below.
Fluid Leaking from Car: What to Do If Your Car Is Leaking Water
It's doubtful that you'll need to take any action. The most common source of leaking water is condensation from the air conditioner - which is quite common in the summer - or exhaust, which is more common in the winter.
Another common reason is your windscreen washers, but this is unlikely to be a severe problem that you should disregard.
If you can't figure out what's causing the problem or there's more than a little water coming from your vehicle, double-check that the clear fluid is truly water and that there isn't something more severe going on.
Fluid Leaking from Car: My automobile is leaking an amber-colored liquid.
You're definitely leaking fuel or diesel if you observe a brownish puddle under your car that looks multicolored when the light hits it just right.
Both petrol and diesel have strong, distinct aromas. If you detect a stench that reminds you of a gas station, you've successfully recognized your mystery puddle.
These spills are most common around forecourts due to negligent pumping, but if they appear after you've parked somewhere else, don't overlook them.
What to Do If Your Car Is Leaking Fuel
If you can, avoid driving because gasoline is highly flammable and a spark in the wrong spot might cause it to catch fire. It's possible that your fuel economy is suffering as well!
The most common cause of fuel leaks is a crack or hole in the fuel tank. Any decent technician will be able to patch this up without having to replace the whole thing as long as the gasoline tank isn't rotting away due to age.
My automobile has a crimson fluid leak.
The scariest color of any liquid to find leaking from under your car is red, and it usually indicates that you have a transmission fluid leak.
If there's red fluid pouring in the middle or front of your vehicle, it's transmission fluid, and it's not only bad for your driveway (it can stain), but it can also be dangerous for your car.
What to do if your car's gearbox fluid leaks
To begin, don't drive if you suspect a transmission fluid leak because your car may not run correctly, putting you and others at risk, and using it could cause more harm.
These leaks can be caused by a variety of factors, including damaged seals and fractured fluid lines, as well as failing gaskets and ordinary wear and tear, and the problem should be addressed as soon as feasible.
You can check the fluid levels using the dipstick (see your owner's manual for further information), but you'll almost certainly need to have your car towed to a garage where an expert can examine it.
My automobile has a brown/black fluid leak.
A puddle of amber, brown, or black liquid under your car is most likely engine oil, but approach near enough to touch it to be sure. It's almost likely oil if it feels slippery and is difficult to remove from your fingertips.
What to Do If Your Car Is Leaking Oil
First, try to find the source of the leak. Once you're under the hood, it should be quite straightforward to identify, and if the leak is caused by something like a valve cover gasket, you might be able to replace it yourself.
If you choose to fix it or drive with a little oil leak, make sure your oil tank is always filled to the correct level. Failure to do so could result in long-term (and costly) engine damage.
If you can't fix the leak yourself or it's more than a few drops, take it to a local garage and get it looked at by a mechanic. This will assist prevent any long-term harm to your vehicle from the leak.
My automobile is leaking a reddish-brown liquid.
Power steering fluid could be seeping from a reddish-brown liquid near the power steering reservoir. This will smell slightly sweet and burned, unlike engine oil or transmission fluid.
A leak may indicate an issue with the hoses and tubing that transport fluid from the pump to the steering rack, such as a loose connection or a crack.

My nissan quest 95 is leaking water. It seems is coming from around the filter. Need help please

Dear Helen,
Which filter? You have the air filter, the oil filter, and the cabin filter.
If it is coming out near the air filter or the oil filter, I should suspect a leaking heater or radiator hose.
A pressure tester for the radiator will help you find those leaks.
If it is near the cabin filter, it should be the drain tube for the air conditioner condenser, which is normal to leak when the air conditioning is running.
Try to catch some of the water that is leaking and see which fluid it is.
Air conditioner condensation water is clear, it even looks drinkable.
Anti-freeze/coolant liquid is colored blue, green, red, or yellow, (it depends on the brand) and has a distinct sweet smell and taste. No, I am not recommending you should taste it.
God bless your efforts.

1996 toyota tercel is leaking radiator fluid

Get a paper towel and try to absorb the liquid. See if you can match the color to any fluids of the car. If its clear and has no smell its water which would be coming from condensation, a very typical non-issue.

Ac is leaking fluid into car on passenger side

If you can feel the a/c and heat but its just not blowing out of the vents like it should, more than likely you will need a new blower. Check the fuse for it first.
If the liquid is green its antifreeze and your heater core is probably leaking if its clear and looks like water it could just be condensation from the a/c.

There is water dripping on my foot when my foot is on the gas pedal this has just started what can this be?

It could be that the drain that removes water when the a/c evaporator drips is plugged and it is backing up into the passenger compartment.

If it happens when it rains it could be a leaky windshield or water leaking in through the cabin air filter.

I have a leak directly in under the engine block a clear liquid with a hint of black....

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.

A leak from the fridge

Without knowing a bit more about the black fluid it is hard to guess where it could come from - in a fridge there should be no black fluid and the only oils are mixed in with the refrigerant so the fridge will not be working if any noticeable amount is leaking out, as the gas will leak out as well. As you mentioned, the most likely liquid is water from inside the fridge or condensation from inside or outside that has bacteria growing causing the blackness. this sort of water may usually only be in the water tray at the back but there are many possibilities of it leaking out somewhere else - only way to check is to get the fridge running, up on four chairs or a VERY strong glass table so you can see where it is comning from. Another possibility is that there is some insect, plant or rodent factor - the moist warm space under a fridge is quite popular and they can produce their own liquids and also especially rodents cause unpredictable holes and damage all over the place. also can only be checked by looking very closely at the source of the liquid. The last possible cause i can think of is some sort of corrosion - i have not heard of this type of corrosion with a fridge, but it is quite common on steel ships - salty humidity and chemicals (cleaners/cargo etc) reacting strangely with the paint or steel are normally blamed - just think if you get too many strong cleaning products near the bottom of the fridge and look for general condition of the paint/metal underneath you should be able to see it easily if the black fluid was in any significant quantity - there would usually be a sort of rusty look to the fluid, but not always depending on the combination of chemicals present. Where you describe the fluid coming from, sounds like it could be from the door insulation - maybe leaking through the bottom hinge holes - check that nothing is leaking into the door from inside, although condensation can easily happen in the door body itself if the insulation has separated slightly from the "skin" of the door inside. Last thing to try is to investigate the fluid itself a bit more closely - get some on a piece of kitchen paper towel or a coffee filter and then wet the paper with water also just next to the fluid- the parts of the liquid should separate out a little as the water soaks through the paper and you may just see something that looks familiar. If you get no luck post back and try to describe exactly what the fluid does smell like, without trying to imagine smells like "oil" which means nothing as they are all different and in particular fridge lubricants are relatively odourless. think of things you actually know the smell of and try and describe it in those terms - if you feel brave then it may be worth tasting the liquid - just taste a tiny tiny bit on a cotton bud/Q-tip dabbed on a few different areas of your tongue and then wash your mouth out with mouthwash straight after instead of spitting or swallowing - I know it sounds dangerous and disgusting but it is the way that many professionals identify unknown substances as taste has a much more specific "database" in the brain than smell has. just be sensible. Hope this helps - post back if not - photographs may help if you have a digital camera, especially of the coffee filter test if you get round to it :) Good luck
