Frequently Asked Questions

There’s water dripping under my car. Is that a leak?

Usually no — clear water dripping from under the center or passenger side of the vehicle is A/C condensation from the evaporator drain. Completely normal. If it’s a colored fluid, has any odor, or appears oily, then it’s worth having inspected.

How do I know what fluid is leaking from my truck?

Color and location are your best clues: brown/dark under the engine = oil; green/orange/sweet-smelling = coolant; red/pink under center = transmission; red near front-left = power steering; clear/yellow near wheels = brake fluid. When in doubt, bring it in and we’ll identify it for you.

My 6.0 Powerstroke oil looks milky. Is that a big problem?

Yes — milky or frothy engine oil on a 6.0 PS indicates coolant is mixing with the oil. This typically points to an oil cooler failure, head gasket, or oil cooler adapter issue. Stop driving the vehicle and bring it in for diagnosis. Running it further with contaminated oil causes engine bearing damage.

How urgent is a coolant leak?

Depends on the rate. A slow seep that doesn’t drop the coolant level significantly is a ‘repair promptly’ situation. A coolant leak that causes the temperature gauge to rise while driving, or that leaves a significant puddle after parking, is a ‘repair now’ situation. An overheated engine is a potentially destroyed engine.

Do you service all makes and models?

Yes — gas and diesel, trucks and daily drivers. Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Portland metro.
