Hi there. My mom had 2008 HHR 2.2L. recently she noticed it started leaking on the passenger side. If anyone can point us in a direction on what might the fluid be coming from and repair options. Thanks in advance
Welcome
I take this as she still “has” this car ? Not “had” as you wrote ?
Anyway. I see 2 different fluids. Engine oil and orange antifreeze. The oil may be from the pressure sending unit which is above the starter pictured.
The antifreeze leak could be leaking 1 or more places. Just have to pinpoint where.
Honestly with the amount of oil and dirt buildup on the engine, it’s been seeping or leaking for a long time.
Yes I ment to say has not had. Anyways thanks for the advice. Her HHR started overheating as of yesterday as well. Will be looking into your advice on possible issue as well as willing to take any future advice or suggestions
Taking pics of the underside of a car is challenging. You can't get the camera far enough back to add context to the picture. So hard to tell where these locations are. That said, the coolant filler neck has been known to crack and crumble.
I see engine oil leaking from the oil pressure sending unit over the starter, I see engine oil slung from the harmonic balancer /timing chain cover seal. I see transmission fluid slung from passenger side output shaft seal.
