I have a leak

Hi there

Hope someone can help. I have just brought a Kia Sportage 2001 and have discovered a leak dripping from under the dashboard onto the floor on the passenger side. It is some type of oil. Does anyone know what is causing it?

Cheers Lel

the only types of liquid that would be under the dash is refrigerant or coolant. what does this oil smell like?

My first thought would be air conditioning coolant. (basically the consistency of cold water) All cars tend to do that to some degree. But you said OIL....

Monitor it. If it's cold and has the consistency of water, I wouldn't worry about it.
