yellow fluid S70

My story is the same in Ohio,

We had quite a snow storm here in Atlantic Canada recently, and the freshly snoblowered driveway was a great blank canvas for my car to drip onto in the driveway.

When I pulled away this morning, I noticed two yellow spots in the snow, so I went to check them out.

They were a strange yellow-green colour, and there were two nearly identical spots, both lined up as if directly dead center under the car, one fore and one aft, and just ahead/fore of where the rear differential would be.

I can only assume this is viscous coupling fluid by the location, but I don't know what colour that fluid is supposed to be so I can't tell for sure.


Now that I'm thinking about it, I had to use a bit of throttle to get out of the snowdrift that had accumulated around the nose of the car overnight - is it possible the VC is blowing fluid out somewhere/somehow when it's engaging?

Any clarification you might be able to provide would be appreciated.

johnny glacier / can anyone add to it.. I use Volvo blue coolant

    yellow fluid S70

    you are correct in that its bevel gear fluid. I can't recall, does it come with a drain/blow off hole, or does that have to be drilled in? If it has one, then perhaps the plugs come out, if you've drilled, then perhaps thats why its leaking. Being stuck could lead to it really getting sloshed around too.

    If you've never changed the oil, it might be time Here's a great guide on doing it and it will allow you to make sure that you have enough fluid in it.

    If you're not driving it "like its stolen," are you really driving?
