Water leak A fluid is leaking from under my bmw I have tried to find where it is coming from but can't. It is coming from near the middle of the car but more to the front. I topped it up with water 4days ago and put a little bit too much in I think?

Fluid Leaking from Car: My automobile has a clear liquid leak.
It's probably just water if your car is leaking a clear, water-like liquid. A transparent liquid could also be used as a coolant, albeit unlike water, it will most likely have a coloured tinge (green, blue, or yellow) and an odor. For additional information about leaking coolant, see the sections below.
Fluid Leaking from Car: What to Do If Your Car Is Leaking Water
It's doubtful that you'll need to take any action. The most common source of leaking water is condensation from the air conditioner - which is quite common in the summer - or exhaust, which is more common in the winter.
Another common reason is your windscreen washers, but this is unlikely to be a severe problem that you should disregard.
If you can't figure out what's causing the problem or there's more than a little water coming from your vehicle, double-check that the clear fluid is truly water and that there isn't something more severe going on.
Fluid Leaking from Car: My automobile is leaking an amber-colored liquid.
You're definitely leaking fuel or diesel if you observe a brownish puddle under your car that looks multicolored when the light hits it just right.
Both petrol and diesel have strong, distinct aromas. If you detect a stench that reminds you of a gas station, you've successfully recognized your mystery puddle.
These spills are most common around forecourts due to negligent pumping, but if they appear after you've parked somewhere else, don't overlook them.
What to Do If Your Car Is Leaking Fuel
If you can, avoid driving because gasoline is highly flammable and a spark in the wrong spot might cause it to catch fire. It's possible that your fuel economy is suffering as well!
The most common cause of fuel leaks is a crack or hole in the fuel tank. Any decent technician will be able to patch this up without having to replace the whole thing as long as the gasoline tank isn't rotting away due to age.
My automobile has a crimson fluid leak.
The scariest color of any liquid to find leaking from under your car is red, and it usually indicates that you have a transmission fluid leak.
If there's red fluid pouring in the middle or front of your vehicle, it's transmission fluid, and it's not only bad for your driveway (it can stain), but it can also be dangerous for your car.
What to do if your car's gearbox fluid leaks
To begin, don't drive if you suspect a transmission fluid leak because your car may not run correctly, putting you and others at risk, and using it could cause more harm.
These leaks can be caused by a variety of factors, including damaged seals and fractured fluid lines, as well as failing gaskets and ordinary wear and tear, and the problem should be addressed as soon as feasible.
You can check the fluid levels using the dipstick (see your owner's manual for further information), but you'll almost certainly need to have your car towed to a garage where an expert can examine it.
My automobile has a brown/black fluid leak.
A puddle of amber, brown, or black liquid under your car is most likely engine oil, but approach near enough to touch it to be sure. It's almost likely oil if it feels slippery and is difficult to remove from your fingertips.
What to Do If Your Car Is Leaking Oil
First, try to find the source of the leak. Once you're under the hood, it should be quite straightforward to identify, and if the leak is caused by something like a valve cover gasket, you might be able to replace it yourself.
If you choose to fix it or drive with a little oil leak, make sure your oil tank is always filled to the correct level. Failure to do so could result in long-term (and costly) engine damage.
If you can't fix the leak yourself or it's more than a few drops, take it to a local garage and get it looked at by a mechanic. This will assist prevent any long-term harm to your vehicle from the leak.
My automobile is leaking a reddish-brown liquid.
Power steering fluid could be seeping from a reddish-brown liquid near the power steering reservoir. This will smell slightly sweet and burned, unlike engine oil or transmission fluid.
A leak may indicate an issue with the hoses and tubing that transport fluid from the pump to the steering rack, such as a loose connection or a crack.
What to do if your car's power steering fluid leaks

!!!You need to get this checked out NOW!!!
The most obvious leak on that area of the car is the BRAKE LINES. Is the car left or right hand drive?
If you can safely see under the car use a torch to see where the leak is coming from. Fluids can travel across bits of bodywork before it drips.
if it is near the sides of the car it could be brake fluid. If it is nearer the centre line of the car it could be gearbox or diff oil.
Please comment below with information on what you can see and I'll try to help more.

You can find the vacuum leak easily. With engine running, spray some starting fluid near where you suspect the leak to be. If the engine speeds up from sucking the starting fluid in at the leak, you found the leak. Fix it. As for the burning oil and engine noisy, you will need to rebuild or replace the engine because it's worn out.

change coolant jug also check thermostat as well as radiator for leaks ,,,check coolant levels and fan motors inside and under hood

you have a hydraulic leak there are two lines that meet in the middle by the light cluster both lines should be changed you have to pull back headliner to see lines and leak one line runs under drivers side panel near side of seat and other line runs under passenger side panel near the side of the seat going to the back seats and to the trunk where hydraulic motor and fluid box is its a hard job and takes about six hours to do lines arer 214.00 fluid is 70.00 and about 800 in labor

If it's a hose, it will leak fast, but don't count out other things like the radiator, water pump, head gasket, etc.

fill the system up with antifreeze and water or just water for diagnosis purposes, and use a pressure tester to force fluid out faster.

Maybe, if the leak is fast, you can look under the car to see exactly where it is coming from.

You say middle and opposite side of car (is this as you're sitting in the driver's seat?).

Where is the leak, now?

Depending on the location of the leak from under the van. With the van setting on level ground have someone to fill the transmission with fluid( do not overfill) look under van to see if the fluid is coming from the front or rear or middle of transmission. If you cannot look under the van then use a large piece of cardboard and slide it under the van before you try to fill it to locate the leak. leak could be front or rear seals leaking or the pan gasket leaking. hope this will help you.

There is a blockage or leak in your cooling system. That may come in a few different forms:
Incorrectly installed thermostat
Water pump not functioning - you may see water dripping from the pump or a stain from the hole under the water pump.
Severely coroded hoses/coolant passages - if the fluid is brown and the inside of the radiator rusty
External leak - you would see fluid on the ground Internal leak - you would see steam/white smoke from the tail pipe or water in the oil (may look like chocolate milk or not), if the oil level is extremely high this would be a good indication
heater core bypassed

Where is the leak?
Passenger side under dashboard area? (heater core)?
Near front of car? (Radiator leak)
Under fanbelts and pulleys? (water pump)
Under middle of engine (water hose)

Please .. more info.

There are three possible fluid can leak though the glove box.

Leaves and dirty block the drainage pathway..
Rain water/car wash water will seek the lowest spot.

AC condenser water drainage pathway may be block.

Windshield washer hose come off and window washer fluid somehow find it was to the interior.

Try to identify the smell of the liquid. It may just be Wet ones wipes.


Good luck
