Help needed: fluid leakage underneath the passenger seat


Recommended Posts

There is some fluid leakage at the bottom of the car, location is near the passenger seat. Saw few drop of fluid on the floor, with a kerosene-like smell, do you know how to tell it brake fluid or power steering fluid or transmission fluid?

the car runs well, no major issue.

Advice or pointer are very welcome !!

Thanks in advance.

P/S tank is on the left side of the engine bay under a plastic cover as noted in the owners manual.

I prefer to think of it as the "port side" - since some people think LEFT looking at the engine, rather then the left side of the car.. :thumbup:

Very true! When in doubt RTFM and it always amazes me how many people don't.

  • now I found out the smell is in fact gasoline, it is probably the flange of the fuel filter is aged and not sealed very well. it is in Porsche service centre now.

Gasoline is a very different smell then anything else, good thing you noticed before it caught fire or something. The fuel filter is located on the left side of the vehicle.
