Black Liquid
Black or dark brown fluid with a slight burning smell coming from the front of your car is usually a sign of an engine oil leak. If you notice engine oil leaking from your vehicle, check the front to make sure the engine oil is in the correct location and the oil filter is securely installed.
If the oil pan and filter are properly aligned and leaks still occur, the oil pan may be cracked or the valve may be defective. It is very important to fix an engine oil leak as quickly as possible because an oil leak can damage your engine and other parts of your vehicle and lead to costly repairs.
