Hit Pothole - 2004 Toyota Avalon

I hit a large, deep pothole which flatten my tire and bent my rim. The car was idle for about 1 hour and I noticed it was leaking fluid, which was clear and somewhat oily. Did I break some type of line or could it be the transmission?

Could be brake fluid, I suppose, or power steering fluid. I suggest you check both.

Must have been a really nasty pothole. Ouch.

I doubt the transmission is leaking, but you never know. Check it, too.

I’ll have those things checked, Thanks!

You could have a leaking strut.
