Oil is another car fluid leak that you definitely don't want to ignore. This fluid will range anywhere from caramel-colored to black in hue and has the consistency of syrup. You also probably won't see a lot of it, as it tends to be a slow leak. Regardless, oil keeps the engine lubricated and cool so you definitely don't want to run low on it. Bring your ride to our Charlotte Toyota service center today but be sure to check your oil levels before you hit the highway to see if you need to add more.

Brake fluid looks like cooking oil in both color and consistency. If you spot it pooling underneath your car, you need to schedule an auto service appointment to find out where the leak is coming from. This fluid allows your braking system to run efficiently and give you the power to bring your vehicle to a safe stop, so you don't want to run low or run out.
