What to Do If the Car Chassis is Scraped and Leaking Water?

Check which part of the chassis is leaking, and then go to a 4S shop to repair the leaking part. Below is a partial introduction about the car chassis: 1. Definition: The car chassis consists of four parts: the transmission system, the running system, the steering system, and the braking system. The function of the chassis is to support and install the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, receiving the power from the engine to make the car move and ensuring normal driving. 2. Function: The power generated by the car engine is transmitted to the driving wheels through the transmission system. The transmission system has functions such as deceleration, speed change, reversing, power interruption, inter-wheel differential, and inter-axle differential. Working in coordination with the engine, it ensures the normal driving of the car under various working conditions and has good power performance and economy.
Last time I scraped the undercarriage while driving, it also leaked water, which was quite scary. There are usually three possibilities in this situation: either the air conditioning condensate pipe is broken, the radiator is scraped and leaking, or worst of all, the engine oil pan is damaged. If you notice water dripping under the car, don’t panic. After turning off the engine, check the color and smell of the leaking fluid. If it’s clear water with a slightly sweet smell, it’s coolant; if it has an oily smell, it might be engine oil. At this point, never continue driving—call a tow truck immediately and take it to the repair shop for an undercarriage inspection. Trying to fix it yourself is too dangerous; if the fuel system is damaged, it could catch fire. Remember to drive slowly over potholes in the future, and installing an undercarriage guard can be quite helpful.
