Hi Robert,

I noticed there was a pool of liquid under my 2018 Nissan Titan yesterday. I found it near the engine so thought it might be radiator fluid. What do you think?

Thanks,
Andy

Hi, Andy!

Itâ€™s very hard to say what fluid is coming from your 2018 Nissan Titan without seeing it. But there are a few tell-tale signs when a radiator is leaking.

This type of fluid looks sticky and bright, and usually smells sweet; it can be green, orange, or pink in color. So if the pool in your garage ticks these boxes, thereâ€™s a good chance you have a leaky radiator.

If you've noticed that your truck's engine temperature has been higher than normal it would also point to a radiator problem.

This fluid is highly toxic so you need to make sure you dispose of it quickly and donâ€™t let any animals or children near it.

Itâ€™s dangerous to drive your car in this condition as the engine could overheat and seize but, if you find the leak, you can patch it with a repair product and get to a garage. If you can't fix it, you'll need to call a tow truck.

Thanks for your question, Andy! Contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you need anything else.
