2000 Maxima GLE I see a lil coolant & Fuel injector cleaner

Today when I was going to my car from the outside of my garage I noticesome green fluid on the ground. I look under the car it was coming from the front. I didn't really see were it was coming from I just notice it. Is this common on these Maxima's. I got 170000 miles on the car. It drives very good for the mileage. Also what is a good fuel injector cleaner fluid for this car. I read several posts saying not to use none it will damage your fuel injectors. Oh one more thing my passenger driver seat switch to go back & forward broke. Is there anyway of me fixing that or do I have to buy a new switch. If that's the case are they easy to install..

Some favorite injector cleaners around here are Techron, BG 44k, and Redline S1. Techron's a lot less concentrated than the other two but still effective. I keep a case in my trunk.

The coolant leak could be bad or minor. See if you can figure out where it's leaking from. Might just be a hose or it might be something worse.

What part of the switch broke? Best bet is probably just to pick up a used one at a junkyard. Replacement's not bad, it just unscrews from the side of the seat...kind of awkard to get to but not particularly difficult.

It's the switch that moves back and forth. I saw the switch for like five bucks at the dealer,I just need to know is it easy to replace/install. As for the fuel system Im gonna try Techron first to see if it works good if not then I will try BG

What leads you to believe that you need to use injector cleaner? If it's "just because", I wouldn't bother.

Why?????

Injector cleaner is best used preventatively, not correctively.

I look under my car today and notice the coolant leak is coming from the driverside near the tire. Could it be the water pump, I notice it only leaking on that side

[MinisterofDOOM]

Not likely that it's the water pump as the water pump is on the passenger side. Front of the engine is on the passenger side, transmission is on the driver side.

What do u think it might be leaking from. It is coolant

Check the hoses and connections on the rad and the engine. Also the rad itself, (less likely).
