Hi,

I have a leak on my Fiat Punto 2002 model. It's a pink colour.

Does anybody know what this is?

Thanks

    A pink Fiat Punto:eek::rotfl:

    Assuming you mean the fluid is pink you need to be a bit more specific as to where it is coming from, it could be the radiator if the antifreeze is coloured or brake/clutch fluid.

    Coming from front or back or middle under the car?

    From wheels, exhaust?

    Dripping, gushing. worse when you push brake pedal? Any other symptoms or noises?

    Give us a clue!!

    It's coming from the front of the car. a few drips once the car is off probably half the size of a golf ball.

    Its a pink colour so i'm assuming it's the radiator.

    So have you checked the radiator fluid level to see if it is down?

    diesel or petrol? thinking if its a deisel could be the leak off pipe? if its petrol and pink in colour wich by the way you would tell if its antifreeze by the colour of the water in the coolant bottle, if not that the thinking a split hose for the washer jets if that water is pink.
