Over the past few weeks I've been noticing oil stains around my wheels where I park on my garage floor. It kind of dilutes and mixes with the water so it's actually becoming quite a substantial stain, which is frustrating. Which lead me to notice what appears to be some residual oil all over my car...
My first thought was maybe something is leaking from my car. Spent a night with the car on jack stands inspecting underneath but found nothing leaking anywhere.
Second thought is perhaps construction nearby? I live in a newer community so there's always something happening around here. But then I also began noticing it at work too after commuting on Stoney Trail and even after I'd drive to other places across town. Generally noticing this trend after I've driven on Stoney Trail anywhere in the North to SE so far.
Third though is perhaps something new the city is using on the streets for snow/ ice melting? I heard they stopped using the beet brine last year (??) But perhaps they're using something new? I asked one friend to look at his vehicle and he said he was noticing the same thing recently.
There's visibly darker/ more black liquid / marks all over my car, so dark it's noticeably different than the brown mud color...
