Help! Need some advice on Anti-freeze, mine leaked out.

but, but, but when I drove by the dairy it was always stinkie like that, but I think it's a combo of the milk and, well, nevermind. One thing for sure, I won't be walking on anyone's grass anytime soon, LOL!!
 

Haha-Wes was just saying last week that they had a bad smell in the office at the body shop where he works. They lit matches,sprayed Febreeze,checked everywhere to try to figure out what it was. Finally Wes looked at his shoe.Yep,he`d stepped in something while feeding Jezebel before he left for work. And yes,on his floormats,brake pedal etc. So you`re not alone,Denise!

I was aware of that so yesterday I caught all in a large, pan, then sealed all of it in plastic milk jugs to send to the dump/garbage man. I then hosed down the driveway just in case. I checked with my neighbor on that and he said I couldn't have had much if any the way I did it but I hosed it good. We women can be very efficient you know;) LOL:)

That's good that your garbage takes liquids because here anti freeze and most other automotive liquids are treated as hazardous material. A lot of auto stores will dispose of your old anti freeze if you buy there or the town or county has a procedure for hazardous material. Some gas stations will dispose of it as well. But trash or landfill is better than the streets or water table.

Also I like to clean up any residue treating with oil soak first, then sweep up and then scrub area with dish detergent & water with a hard bristle push broom then rinse.

On leaks at least check where under the car it is leaking/pooling because that would be a starting point for you or a mechanic to start trouble shooting. I was told "oozing" normal ie spots, once it's a puddle or obviously wet-danger.

One last thing. A lot Japanese Cars and GM tend to use pink anti freeze or dex cool. Do Not Mix Pink With Green Antifreeze. It will lead to clogging and/or accelerated corrosion.
 
Thank you for all the info WIT, I am not sure about the garbage pick-up so I will call in a few and ask. Thanks again because I didn't think of that at all;) denise
