what in the world is this?
So I was laying down in my room watching an episode of the Simpsons when my mom yells down to me, "your car [1993 190E 2.6 193,100miles] is leaking somthing down the driveway...its orange/brownish" So I give it some thought as I walk up the stairs and the only thing that comes to mind is coolant. I look down and see this:
 First thing I did was check the coolant, nope its ok:  I looked back at the orange/brown streak:  Then I looked at its origin...which then confused me as to why it would be coming from here:  So what the heck is going on here? The only thing I can think of would be is that it is coolant from the overflow line, but this is just a best guess...I didnt look as to where the overflow line went..come to think of it i dont believe its even facing that direction.... anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Kris

change that coolant.
Its probabaly leaking from the overflow tank (if its the same as a 124) its in the fender. the line maybe ripped on the way to it.

Exactly what color was that coolant when it was put in..... during the Nixon administration.

pour some water down the overflow line and see where it ends up.
