89 RX-7 NA Leaking Charcoal Cannister

Hi everyone,

I have done a search about the charcoal cannister and what it is does.

It appears that I have a light green fluid leaking from the drain hose on the bottom of the Charcoal cannister. It is very minor, only a few drops at best but I don't think it should be there.
I think it is antifreeze. But I have no idea how it could be getting there.

I thought there were only supposed to be gasoline vapours from two hoses going into the charcoal cannister.

Any ideas on what it could be and what to check for ?

Thank you
Paul

what u are looking at is black, no way should antifreeze be in there. underneath it is a cold start assist bottle. with antifreeze in it. check it out. i through the charcoal away makes no difference.
