What’s Leaking From Your VW? | Hollidaysburg, PA
Now that summer is simmering down and we turn the corner to fall, there is no better time to make sure your ride is in tip-top shape for the fall/winter weather that is ahead of us. After all of your travel, your vehicle is probably in need of some well-deserved TLC like a tune-up, but even if your vehicle needs more extensive work, we can get the job done right!
An issue many drivers run into is a mysterious fluid leak. This can be common, but it is an issue that needs attention as soon as possible in other cases. So when should you be concerned, and more importantly how do you know what fluid is leaking? Great question! Did you know that you can figure out what fluid is leaking from your vehicle just by the color and texture of the fluid? Lucky for you, this week we have you we have a color guide and some extra direction to help you figure out what could be leaking from your vehicle. Check it out below!
LIght brown to black:
- If the fluid leaking from your vehicle is a brownish/black color, chances are it’s motor oil. This can leak from various spots of your vehicle, but if it is leaking from the center and the odor smells like rotten eggs, the culprit could be a lube oil leak.
- This won’t stop your vehicle dead, but it means that there is an ongoing issue and you should bring your vehicle in for a professional examination
Light yellow to dark brown:
- Brake fluid starts as a clear/yellow color and as it ages it becomes dark brown, similar to motor oil. An easy way to distinguish is simple, just feel the fluid. If the fluid feel slippery, it’s likely brake fluid. If this is the case, your vehicle is not safe to drive and you’re going to want to bring it in for repair as soon as possible.
Red(ish):
- If the fluid leaking from your vehicle is a red or reddish color, it’s generally power steering fluid. Power steering fluid will leak from under the front part of your car and is thin in texture. If this is the case, there is an issue with the power steering pump.
Orange:
- If the leak is from your vehicle’s center and the fluid is an orange/reddish-brown color, it could be transmission fluid. However, rust from your radiator mixing with an antifreeze leak can appear orange-ish as well. However, the antifreeze will be thin and can leak from anywhere, which could help you determine the difference.
Yellow, Green, or Pink:
- These leaks will be the easiest to spot, and typically the simplest to diagnose. More times than not, the cause of such bright puddles is a simple coolant leak. In these cases, your vehicle’s age comes into play. Older vehicles tend to blow off a bit of coolant when the engine gets too hot, so a few little spots are nothing to worry about.
- If your vehicle is newer, this coolant shouldn’t be dripping any excess liquids so it might be a good idea to bring it in for a look.
Clear:
- If the fluid leaking from your vehicle looks like water, it probably is water. The air conditioning can build up excess condensation and result in puddles of water underneath your vehicle. This occurs in properly running cars, only be worried if it becomes constant and a lot.
If you find that your vehicle is experiencing a leak or any other issue for that matter, be sure to schedule a service appointment with the pros at Fiore Volkswagen, and we can get your ride into tip-top shape in no time!

Summer is in full swing, and we are just a couple of weeks away from August! That means your opportunity to upgrade to a new ride this summer is quickly approaching, and lucky for you, our team is here to help! Whether you’re looking for a new or pre-owned VW, we have an impressive selection of vehicles to choose from, despite the inventory shortage many dealerships are facing! But before you stop in for a test drive, ask yourself what you should be looking for on said test drive. Not sure what you should be looking for? No problem! Take a peek below and make a checklist for your next VW test driver, right here at Fiore VW!
Do your homework.
Think about what type of model is right for your lifestyle and your budget. If you have a family, a crossover or SUV might be best for you. Think about fuel mileage. If you drive a lot, perhaps a sedan is right for you. Or if you are a hardworking person ready to take on any job, a Ford pickup is just right for your tasks.
Check out the car.
From the exterior to the interior, take a minute to check it out. Be sure to check for things like scratches or dings on the exterior. On the inside, look at the features. Everything from convenience to safety – you want to know what this vehicle is equipped with.
Comfort is key.
When you slip behind the wheel, are you comfortable? Do you fit in the vehicle? Is there enough room for you? The biggest thing, for me, is being comfortable. So, check out everything from the front seats to the back seats. Don’t be afraid to check out the trunk to ensure that you’ll have enough space for those bulky items or gear when you’re ready for an adventure.
Drive the car.
We recommend taking the vehicle for a test drive on one of your normal routes. If most of your commute is on a highway, city streets, or back roads – take the vehicle there. Here, you are looking for how the vehicle rides, the handling, stability, and more things our team can point out. If you feel the vehicle isn’t for you, just ask what we recommend – our team is here to help you!
U-P-G-R-A-D-E! Yup, the perfect time to slip into a new Volkswagen is right now at Fiore VW! This month we have huge offers on brand new 2021 Volkswagen models – trust us, you don’t want to miss out!

Thinking about trading in your old ride? Great! We’re here to help you get behind the wheel of a brand new Volkswagen while helping get the most for your trade. This week, we have a few tips that will help you get the most for your trade when you stop in to see us. So, take a look at those tips below and head over to our inventory and take a look to see if your next new vehicle is waiting right here for you at Fiore Volkswagen! We look forward to working with you – let’s get the process started today!
Regular maintenance is crucial:
You should always be regularly servicing your vehicle but when it comes to trading in your old ride, this is especially important. Not only do dealers take a look at the exterior vehicle, but we also want to know how it rides and what it’ll need to get up to standards. If you’ve taken great care of your vehicle, you’ll receive more for your trade!
Clean it up nice:
Make your vehicle look its’ best. Spend a little time detailing it, cleaning up the inside, and even consider fixing any minor scratches, dents, or flaws that your vehicle has accrued over time. Also, removing all of your items could help bring the price up as it’ll make your vehicle look organized and clean.
Do some research:
What’s your trade worth? If you don’t know, let us appraise it or choose to use Kelley Blue Book. This will give us a good starting point to negotiate the price of your trade. Knowing the price and what the market is like currently, will help drive the price for your trade up!
Sell it yourself:
Oftentimes, you could get more money for your old ride if you sell it privately. And sometimes this is a great option if you have the patience to do it! If you are not happy with the trade-in offer you receive, you might want to try selling your vehicle on the side. It could help you get the exact price you are looking for!
