fluid leak INSIDE!!!

[phanatikz32]

my z is leaking some kind of fluid INSIDE on the drivers side. its not constantly leaking, it kind of spurts out randomly, im not sure what it is but it smells like fish and its not water because it has a sweet taste (yes i tasted it and spat it out). has anyone else had this prob. or know what it is!?

you have a coolant leak. Where is the leak eminating from?

[phanatikz32]

it drips down from above the gas pedal.

Hopefully your heater core isn't going.

almost would have to be the heater core. If so, its not a fun job to do.

another vote for the heater core, casue brake fluid don't taste sweet, lol

I admit I have tasted mystery fluid before as well, lol

You live in CA, do you really need a heater? Just bypass it

600 bones is some serious mod money

sorry but I wouldn't trust a firstone to change my oil, I'd suggest you get in touch with your local chapter of the zcca (zcca.org) and find out who in your area they recomend, they might even have a member who owns a shop or get a club discount

yea i found a shop 2 bypass it for like 100 so im going to just do that and save some money.
