Hello,

Found an orange-ish puddle on the asphalt under the hood of my 2010 G37x. Read online it could be antifreeze. I wanted to see if anyone here has

had a similar issue, and what your experience was diagnosing and fixing it.

thanks!

 

Antifreeze has sweet smell and Nissan fluid is blue. Could be rad fluid or trans fluid which is red but changes color as miles put on it

 

Is your washer fluid orange?

 

Open your rad and check your overflow tank to see what colour coolant is in your car. Should be blue or green but may have been replaced with a different one at some point.

 

did someone put dexcrap into your cooling sys? nissan coolant factory fill on these cars is blue. someone may have used the wrong coolant prior and its possible theres a leak now.

 

are you sure that is from your car? move the car and see of that puddle pops back up. I cannot think of an orange fluid in a nissan, that looks more like oil. however from that location it would either be power steering, transmission or coolant leaking. all should be relatively easy to fix just burbing whatever system is leaking would be the PITA.
