I popped the hood on my Mustang today and noticed some orange fluid leaking down near the front of the engine. At first, I thought it was rust or something, but after looking closer, I realized it's definitely fluid. I’m guessing it’s coolant because I’ve read somewhere that some coolants are orange, but I’m still not 100% sure. Now, I have no idea if this is a minor issue or if I should be rushing to the mechanic. Anyone here ever deal with this? Could it be a cracked radiator, a busted hose, or something else? Also, should I be worried about overheating? I’m thinking of trying to fix it myself, but I don’t wanna mess anything up if it's serious. What do you guys think? Is this something a DIYer can handle, or should I get it looked at by a professional ASAP?
