So I just got a worrisome call from my mother. Apparently she found a weird liquid beneath my PS3 slim which she described has "blueish". (I'm currently away in college and my PS3 stayed behind in my parent's house).

She already cleaned it up but has no idea where it came from.I have no idea if it still works or not. I told her to put it away somewhere with paper towels beneath. Didn't risk telling her to turn it on on the slim chance it's water or some soft drink and wanted it to dry off first.

However I'm positively perplexed by this. I don't know of any liquid inside PS3s so I thought maybe someone spilled something on it but they swear they didn't.

It's a PS3 slim (not the super slim) which hasn't seen much use in the last few months/years. Last time I played something on it was some 2 weeks ago.

Before I write off some kind of hardware failure, is there any issue regarding leaky PS3 slims that I'm not aware of? I believe the slim ps3 is usually quite sturdy...

That's the PS3 ghost your describing, he usually comes and plays your PS3 if you haven't used it in a long time.

You obviously have a leak in the hose. When was the last time you had a tuneup?.... Or it could be the blue gatorade frost that someone accidentally spilled? Taste it.

@BH14: Tasting mystery liquids is not exactly a great idea...

But hose? I wasn't aware of any hose inside the slim

I've already been to my parent's home And can now update.

It's definetely not any kind of drink. The ps3 is somehow broken (cracked) around one of the support rubbers on the base (the one under the disc drive) and there actually is a weird liquid coming out. It's blue and left a really hard to remove black Stain on the wood below. It also has a really active smell similar to spray deodorant (reminded me of fresh sprayed axe).

What the hell?!

I know, I'm a veterinarian, your PS3 has hemorragic gastro enteritis ( bloody diarhea ).

All jokes and no one helps the poor fella. Your best bet is to call or email Sony. They even have a live chat that could probably help you out. I've used it many times.

Obviously here, no one knows and will just poke fun at ya. Good luck man!
