Fluid leak between front tires

Yahoo Message Number: 93958
I am coming to this group in hope of some ideas of my problem. I have greenish blue liquid leaking from between front two wheels. Any idea of what this fluid could be? I am concerned it could be brake fluid, and wanted to check level but I don't know where the ABS reservoir is. Coach has been stored in insulated brick garage through the winter in Nashville TN but we did have several days where temp did not get above 20 this winter. Wondering if some fluid line may have cracked. Not sure coach is safe to drive to shop for inspection. Any thoughts or recommendations are appreciated.

Have a Dolphin so not directly related, but is your generator up there? Is it water cooled, sounds like antifreeze, never seen green brake fluid.

Could be antifreeze and/or window washer fluid. Suggestion, follow the trail.

Tracy....with all due respect, you need to call a competent RV tech.

Lonny says generator anti freeze too. Our hose leaked. Has hose clamp. Also several of our hoses disintegrated. (fuel, etc) and had to be replaced.

Thanks everyone for the responses. Kevin Waite was generous enough to ask me to call him to discuss. Our conversation lead to most likely an antifreeze line leak. THANK YOU Kevin for your assistance --- greatly appreciated!!! He is definitely a friend to all CC owners and I will do my part to support / promote him in any way I can!

Tracy,

Rub some between 2 fingers. If it's slippery and slightly sticky it is probably coolant from the generator.
Smell it: sickly, sweet, chemical = coolant as above. WASH YOUR HANDS. Stuff is not good for your health.
Like someone mentioned get a good RV tech. for further help. Also, the coolant level in the generator radiator my be low, so don't run it 'till you're sure all is OK.

If it's like water with an alcohol type odor: washer liquid. Not a big problem. Try and trace where it comes from and have it fixed. You can run the washer/wiper system and see if you get more of the liquid.
If so, you'll know.

Good luck,
Dick

Sounds like coolant going to the heater. Could be the plastic coolant return pump. I assume you are using a blue coolant. It could also be coolant from your genset if its a front mounted style.

Tracy, it is probably coolant leaking from your heater core. You have air brakes thus no brake fluid. Could also be coolant from your generator.

We had liquid by front passenger tire and thought might be the generator. When we opened the generator bay we discovered that the windshield washer fluid reservoir had split and leaked out all the fluids. I googled the manufacturer and found out that the plastic container was made in Jefferson, OR which is only 20 miles from us. My husband was able to switch the reservoir out himself.
