Fluid Question

[gertie508]

I did find the cause of the yellow fluid!!! It snowed another 14" here yesterday, and after digging out the car yet again, there was an outline of drips under the car again in the yellow color I had first asked about. The drips were in the perfect outline of the muffler system! From the back tail pipe all the way down the middle of the car to were it connects up front. Someone had mentioned that it could have been rust from the muffler, he was right, LOL. I never thought that rust could be that yellow. Thanks everyone again for trying to help me figure this out

Glad it's nothing serious.

Like I mentioned, same thing happened to me on more than one occasion. For me it was leaf sediment/crud dripping off of stuff leaving brownish puddles in my garage.

Also condensation forms in the exhaust and drips out the tail pipe, but this usually looks brown.

On another note, when driving through deep snow such that it scrapes the bottom of the car, I've found all sorts of trailing's left behind.
