I have noticed lately that where the end of the back "door" is on the bumper there is a sappy liquid on my car all of the time and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions about it to what i should do or has anyone else experienced it. Thanx

 

The title kinda made me scared to click and find out what u were talking about.......

 

^^ lol I was gonna say the same thing

 

ROTFLMAO!!!.......

 

Do you use your rear washer much? It could be washer fluid.

(You kids be quiet. I'm trying to be serious here)

 

lol...I can't help it, I didn't even think of it that way until it was brought to my attention, now everytime I come back and someone says something about it, it gets funnier to me.

 

Yea i knew it wasnt just me thinking of other THINGS! hahahha.

 

I agree .. I would check the rear washer fluid line the runs into your hatch, it may be cracked or loose ...

 

lol...the more people respond to this thread now, the raunchier it sounds....thanks alot Yellow_Sub!

 

Is the leakage chronic? Okay, that was a joke, but on a serious note. . . What color is it? Is it clear, black, or does it look like maple syrup? That could give us a little clue as to what it is. But I cant imagine the washer fluid bein sticky. So maybe its part of the latch where a little excess grease keeps drippin off? I dunno, but that would be my guess.

 

...........ok I am offically done reading this post.........that's all I need to say.

 

Sorry i thought it would be funny to say that and see what others said. its also funny how no one responded for a day or so before and now that i put that theres a bunch of replies!

 

haha....I said I was done but I just had to come back when I saw a new post. I didn't even see the post until you said something, then my mind began to wander....now I am hopeless to this thread.

 

I've had the same thing happen to me a few times. In the summer when the temps here in phoenix were over 110 degrees and my car was parked with the back toward the afternoon sun I would find that some clear "stuff" had leaked out of the little weephole in the bottom of the hatch door. I am assuming it is grease, probably from the rear wiper. You may want to call the dealer and ask about it, but I just ignored it and kept cleaning it off. I haven't seen it for awhile since the temperatures are lower.

Conclusion: it's lube

 

um..................... too many things i could say but am not going to. man i'm gonna get this thread locked huh?

 

New Beetles are somewhat known for waxy anti rust stuff leaking out of the doors in the hot hot hot weather, maybe it's similar stuff.

 

Chances are it is the sealer they spray in Toyotas.

I work for them building Corollas and we sprayed a hot wax into every crevace we could. Prevents rust, it is inside the fenders,doors, hood( bonnet for those english) tailgate ( rear hatch).

The stuff sorta resembles bee's wax, think thats what it made with. That and grease.

Does melt if it gets 100 plus inside the body panels.

 

LOL You're not right...

 

Problems I'm glad I don't have.

 

any pics of where it seems to be coming from ?
