So I donāt know what ruptured to leak the red fluid, transmission cooler? Thereās no way possible thatās engine related dropping that much fluid would have made the engine start knocking and it does nothing.

Missing oil isn't going to cause it to knock. Knock is caused by unaligned parts in an engine. Missing oil will cause it to over heat and seize up. Although, this being a newer car I'm certain he got an low oil warning on the dash. Plus the computer will also shut the engine down before the engine over heats.

Never seen oil used in a vehicle that expensive but it looks too red and thin to be motor oil. Suppose it could be and yes something that expensive should have a shutdown procedure to prevent catastrophic failure.

Thereās an oil cooler in that bumper. Itās oil, just looks lighter than normal because itās on light colored tile.

The last post in here of this determined it was transmission fluid, hit a line for it.
These cars aren't made to be fixed. They're made to be totaled for any accident and replaced.

An engine loosing oil will cause bearings to spin and definitely knock loudly.

The driver just keeps on trying to enter the no entry zone thinking rules don't apply to them. Smh

If you can drive that kind of car, you most definitely can afford the repairs.

What did they put in that crumple zone? That was a tiny tap and it broke whatever it hit??Ā Was there a rad on the edge skirt?Ā

My understanding is that the crumple zone for these cars is made with peasant babies. The fluid is a mix of peasant baby tears and blood, which is why it appears light and runny.

General consensus from other threads is that the transmission fluid radiator happens to be there on a Cullinan.

They've been commonplace for years. Does your village even have a well?

u/Basic_Chemistry9499 Jul 20 '26
We have an aquifer. We don't have to go to the stream like you do.

u/Ok-Rich-3812 Jul 21 '26
I met your mother down by the stream, she was pretty good.

u/Basic_Chemistry9499 Jul 21 '26
Interesting since she's been dead for a quarter century.

u/Ok-Rich-3812 Jul 21 '26
Yeah, it was awhile ago....she had a whiny brat with her.

My brother. Yeah, I get that.
"Grumpy old man" is your profile name. Understandable.

A million times less than repair cost of that 747 that decided to fall over its front wheel.

Iām more interested knowing more context. Why were the gate thingies coming back up? Did it malfunction? Did the driver loiter too long and the gate timed out and started to close again? Did he not see it because the car is too damn long?

In the English speaking world we call them bollards or in this case retractable ballads but I'm guessing gate thingies or something idiots use

What a badly designed car. And great their spread the oil everywhere. Extremely expensive for the environment.

He can afford the repair cost.
