2000 toyota Camry. The driver’s side floorboard feels wet. the substance seems to be a bit oily, thin. When you clean it with a cloth the liquid is tinted a red color. THis is the only seat it is happenning in, not the passenger side. Car is running fine.
Automatic. Just had a brake job done, brakes seem fine. no fluid levels are low. I ‘ve had it inspected in the last month as well as some other minor maintain work done, timing belt, water pump. Problem happened a few months ago and I soaked it all up. It just started happening again. liquid has no appearant odor. About a year ago the radiator was replaced along with the heater core. I have taken the car on 2 hr trips with no brake trouble, etc.

      It is ATF oil or brake clutch fluid leaking.

      Better have it checked asap.

      Good luck
