got hit. why would abs be leaking?
Got in a small fender bender today when a 16yo chick hit me in the parking lot. She hit me on the drivers side front bumper and fender. I noticed under the hood that there is muddy looking fluid near the abs module. I know the brake fluid shouldn't be a muddy brown, but it is the only place I can guess that it came from on the opposite side of the hood from impact. If it was abs, why the hell would it all of the sudden leak like that? Any ideas?

Sounds like the passenger side mount is leaking.

Yea the motor mount may just be it. I knew they had fluid but didn't realize it could leak out. Under my hood looks like whatever it was sort of "splattered" brown muddy liquid all over the passengers side engine bay even though it is not all that much fluid. Hope insurance doesn't hassle me about fixin that.

Yea its between the lines. Plus I opened it to double check the color and it is nothing like the color of the spilled fluid. Thanks for all of the ideas and input.
