NEED HELP ASAP: Dark fluid on drivers side floor
So the car is driving great but yesterday I noticed that the entire drivers side floor/floormat is soaked! It rained the other day, but nothing that would keep the floor soaked that long, not to mention it is a brown/dark color fluid when I dabbed it with a paper towel. What could this be? Any help is greatly appreciated. I checked all the fluids and all of them are at pretty normal levels.
