Needless to say he ended up calling for a tow. Snow... |

Re: bright yellow fluid leak !
powersteering fluid that Jeep sells over here is a medium brown, definitely
not yellow bright or otherwise... Perhaps it's coolant from another vehicle that was parked there before ...

Re: bright yellow fluid leak !
The stuff I have seen is a light yellowish brown colour. Thinned out
