Re: [T3] Fuel or what?


<x-charset iso-8859-1>I didn't think it would be brake fluid because it was so far away from the
wheels...  closer to center.  I also smelled it outside, and thought maybe I
could smell gas, but not really sure since my whole car smells like rich
exhaust right now.  The line of fluid also continued after I stopped
applying the brakes.  I checked it out right after I sent that message and
in the 10 minutes time it has almost completely dried/evaporated.  I've
driven the car way too much for it to have been trapped water.  I would also
think it would have come out in a big batch, followed by the dripping.  Not
the case here, it looks like it was a steady drip, and it existed before I
stopped, just farther apart.
