Fluid stain in engine bay after long period of parking
I parked the car for a year with battery tender hooked up.
Tried to start it today and noticed weird stain in the engine bay to the passenger side. what could it be? I live in a colder climate with winter temperature dips down to -22F(-30C), it was kept in a garage though. |

Anything under the car? Looks like something pressurized and popped or maybe froze and popped. Maybe windshield washer lines? Does it have a feel or smell to it?

The car drives fine except flat spot on the tires which was expected. No warning lights on dashboard. |

The blotch is right under a fuel line near a connection, are you sure it isn't gasoline?
