what's wrong with my car?
I drive a Ford Taurus L. Yesterday or two days ago, I turned the car off
and walked away. When I came back a few minutes later, it was dripping green fluid from the near the front of the car. I shopped, and it did the same near the store. I'm pretty sure it hasn't done so since, but now there's another problem: Whenever I drive it, the temperature gauge goes up a bit higher than usual. It's still within the range marked "normal", but it's igher than it used to be. Anyone know what's wrong? (I figured something like this would likely be covered in a FAQ, but couldn't find a FAQ for the group.) Please followup so that Google can read your post, as I'm unsure my server carries these groups. Thanks! Michael Hamm AM, Math, Wash. U.

from wat u have just outlined it would seem that your radiator is
leaking coolant hence the green fluid dripping near the frontof your car. it could be a hole or just leaky tubes. best to get it checked out by a mechanic soon tho. if ur car overheats, then it could cause serious damage to your engine and burn allur seals in the gasket.

Dripping green stuff means ALIEN ATTACK don't drive it anymore you could be
