Hey guys, haven't posted on this site yet but its been great use

I didn't know whether to post this in the exterior forums or here but here goes.

Went for a bit of a drive to day up to a mates place, car was running smoothly nothing wrong at all. When I was about to leave my mates I noticed there was some dark green spots down the front right hand side of the car, from the bonnet seal to the top of the tyre.

It looks to dark to be coolant but and theres no sign of any leaks at all under the bonnet, also the part that's got me really pissed off is that its actually eaten away at the paint. I tried to clean one of the little spots off and the paints just gone underneath.

I had done the boost solenoid maintenace today as per mention in another thread but I made sure everything was alright afterwards and as I said before I can't see any sign of leaks anywhere else apart from the outside from the bonnet seal down

The picture doesn't really do much

Does anyone know what it could be? :stupid:

I would say its brake fluid and some d..khead has put it on your deliberatly to damage the paint.

Brakefluid is very bad for paintwork and is also dark green.

Make sure it is washed off properly.

Yeah sounds like brake fluid to me.. Some wa*ker has obviously felt the need to flick it on your car

Make sure it is washed off properly.

If I wash it off though its just gonna keep taking the paint off, I suppose its unavoidable anyway

I just hope that its not to expensive to repaint.

cheers guys
