I started my 85 300zx turbo this morning, turned my lights on and i heard this buzzing noise from the passenger side in the motor so i got out and there was fluid leaking, i couldnt see the color but it looked more like water based and had white foaming bubbles on top. After about 45 seconds it just stop, car was normal and drove fine. Any ideas would be appreciated thanks .

You really should figure out what the fluid is and then post back. Or at least figure out exactly where it came from. Leaking fluid is generally a bad thing. Not knowing what it is is even worse.
