the dripped fluid and couldn't determine if radiator .. HELP in diagnosis please .. Dick in RDU
The windshield washer reservoir has an overflow on it and it drains where you say it is wet. The reservoir holds 4 liters after the light comes on, any more just drains out. On a slope I guess it rose to the overflow mark or some that had overflowed when you filled it managed to drain from where it was trapped.
