A rare owner at least once did not notice an incomprehensible wet spot under the car. Expert “Behind the wheel” Alexey Revin said that it could leak.
1. Fuel
Most modern cars have the tank under the rear seat. If a puddle has formed in the front, immediately call a tow truck: either the fuel line or the fuel pump is leaking.

A diesel fuel leak is somewhat less dangerous: diesel fuel will not flare up just like that. If the malfunction caught on the way, you can try to get to a convenient place.
2. Brake fluid
This is a very dangerous leak. It does not form a large puddle (in a car, the brake fluid is less than a liter), but the trip can end very quickly and with bad consequences.
3. Engine oil
Whether you can go further depends on how much oil is left. If the level has not reached the bottom mark on the dipstick – please. If it is lower, you need to add oil, otherwise, due to a lack of lubrication, engine parts will wear out faster.
When driving, we look at the instrument cluster to see if the emergency oiler lights up. Even with a blinking signaling device, it is unacceptable to continue driving.
4. Coolant
An antifreeze leak is only good because, in extreme cases, you can add water and move in short bursts to the place of repair.
5. Exhaust pipe
