Unknown fluid leak!
Well after chasing many leaks on my 95 YJ, a new one has sprung. I am
getting two drops of fluid under the mid section. The bolts that secure
the seat belt clips to the floor have fluid on them and are dripping??
Are there brake lines in that vicinity that I cant see? It is not gear
or motor oil. I am thinking brake fluid but I don't know how the lines
are routed. I assume they are all routed through the frame rail.
Thanks, Greg

Re: Unknown fluid leak!
I suspect a spill too. Remember, although Jeep advertised that this vehicle
had "drain plugs" they don't actually drain the passenger compartment well.
If it is brake fluid you will be able to identify it by its distinctive feel
and smell, as well as by its amazing ability to dissolve paint. I suspect
that the "leak" is Coca-Cola, beer or coffee. ;^)

Re: Unknown fluid leak!
Hey Guys, I know its not a spill, I have no carpet in my Jeep. I cant
figure out for the life of me what the heck it is. Anyway, thanks for
the input. Maybe its seat belt oil ;)
