No "white oil" in these cars buddy. Post some pics so we have a better idea of what you are looking at and the hoses of which you speak.

The clear hose dripping really bad.

Is this near the nose of the car? There are drain lines there that just bring water down. Have you checked/felt the "puddle" and confirmed it is in fact oil?

vugoodoll

yes this is near the nose of the car, it right in the center where the center undertray is which my car is missing. I felt it, it clear and oily. I want to know what these 2 hose lead to and what it for. Thanks for the help

vugoodoll

anybody have more input to this? Thanks

One hose is your radiator overflow line. I'm inclined to believe that is what your concerned with. Check your anti-freeze/coolant level. Also check what color it is. My guess is that it is a 50-50 mix of coolant water. It can have an oily/slippery texture to it. Also, try rubbing your fingers in the puddle and smelling the liquid. That should give you a better picture as to what your delaing with.

i think one of those is the battery tray drain hose if im not mistaking, hope your not playing around with battery acid

vugoodoll

Acid? now im more worry

vugoodoll

You are right Mkorsu, that liquid leaking is my coolant. What have cause my coolant to overflow like that? I recently have my timing belt and spark plug + wire change. Would that have cause it?

if they topped off the coolant at the same time, and overfilled it...

mkorsu

Mitsu, can a stuck thermostat cause that as well?

vugoodoll

Sorry, im not sure i understand this reply...So i had overfilled the coolant?

stuck thermostat, stopped coolant passage, any of those, yes....

the reservoir is not meant to be filled 100% to allow for expansion under heat... if they topped it off, then the only place for the coolant to expand is out that hose...

It did the same thing.. I would drive it park it then notice alot of coolant under the car.But it would not leak for very long.. Kinda hard to tell but take a good look at the plastic top of the radiator where it meets the aluminum part.. my radiator was comoing apart from there.. 150 buck new radiator plus about 1 hour of my own labor.. no more coolant under my sc400.
