Do this before getting in the car tomorrow: it takes 10 seconds and can reveal a problem that doesn't appear on the dashboard

A simple 10-second gesture when getting into the car — looking at the ground beneath the vehicle — can help identify mechanical problems before they become serious. According to RAC and the AA, British roadside assistance associations, a transparent, odorless stain may simply be air conditioning condensation, but colored, smelly or oily-looking fluids may indicate oil, coolant or fuel leaks. The color of the fluid can provide clues (brown or black oil, green, yellow or pink coolant), but it is not diagnostic, so placing white cardboard under the car to collect samples is recommended. Dashboard warning lights may not come on immediately, so suspicious stains should not be ignored. Situations such as the oil pressure light being on, a strong fuel smell or suspected leak in the braking system require immediate stopping and contacting assistance.
