Fluid leaks happen, and car owners need to catch these problems long before the fluid levels drop too low. Not all fluid level decreases deliver the same effect. When coolant leaks out, a car may overheat, and steam comes from under the hood. Hopefully, the driver notices the problem quickly and stops the vehicle before any severe damage occurs.
Brake fluid leaks could lead to far worse and even tragic consequences. If brake fluid levels drop, there may not be enough hydraulic pressure to stop the car. A collision may result.
Other fluid issues could come from oil, differential, windshield washer, and transmission leaks. When transmission and oil leak, expect a totaled vehicle due to friction on the parts. Don't think low levels of windshield washer or power steering fluid won't cause dangers, though.
