Pungent? Like sulpher? If so- it's your rear housing that's leaking- probably looks yellow because it's mixing with water (any oil lubricant will get 'milky' looking when mixed with water).

If this is at engine compartment and it smells strong, you're left with 3 choices: power steering fluid, auto transmission fluid and brake fluid.

Not like sulpher i cant explain it... It's pretty thick aswell and its at the rear like i said is diff fluid a possibility?

Also is it possible to have a connection with inanimate objects? I dreampt my car wouldnt start up last night and today this happens (it did start up tho) I think my car loves me ( i sleep above the garage) i think it's sending me messages whilst i sleep
