Any Idears?

Heyyo,
So here in Columbus it has rained a butt load the last few days, and very hard rain it was. Noticed this today, it has puddled up a bit when stopped. At first I thought it was random rainwater stuck in the runner or somewhere else but I noticed it's pink. Anyone know? And my coolant level is full.

 

spill a red Gatorade on your door recently?

 

any views from under the step?

 

Heater core leaking?

 

Or not recently and the moisture has revitalized the gatorade causing it to run.

 

+1 on heater core leak. Or connection of hose at heater core.

 

Whelp I figured it out. This is embarrassing to say and before anyone asks, yes I went out to the garage and put my special helmet on.

I had a jug of coolant in the plastic pocket in the access door and the Heat made it swell up and it was leaking out, went under the plastic trim and was dripping out. I'm an idiot but thankfully that's all it was!

 

Yeah man that's great news! finally being dumb isn't gunna cost you

 

Close the door and step away from the vehicle...

 

We didn't join the Army because we were geniuses.

 

Lol, glad it wasn't anything bad. Good story to tell later on.

Question is though, why would you keep coolant in the door holder of all places

 

Tcomaboy, the answer to your question is in the post above yours.

Johnjaz, freakin' hilarious. The only problem is that your post is genius, so it disproves your comment.

OP, most guys would have gone to the wife/girlfriend/kid made the mess. Props for fessing up.

 

I would have gone to the wife/girlfriend/kid to do a taste test to see if it was some spilled Koolaide/Gatorade/Otter-pop. My contingency plan would be poison control or emergency room.

 

Truer words have not been spoken! Mechanics be like "that's operate level dumbass."

 

Put it there back in the winter because I didn't have anywhere else to put it without it falling over and just sorta forgot it was there

 

The problem is that I'm the guy other people do that to, so I have nobody. No kids, no girlfriend. All I got is a doggo and strong right forearm.

 

TMI

 

I had that happen with a bottle of bourbon once. It got hot and popped the cork. I had it laying down on the passenger seat of my car. It smelled great for a couple of weeks!
