Just been out to give the car a check over. Noticed a small patch of fluid under the car, so I moved it to see if it was coming from my car, and it was. It wasn't dripping, but when I started the car, it did start to drip  , left it running for a while and it was dripping quicker and quicker, there was some dripping from the joint, near where the second lambda is, so I presumed that is water moisture in the exhaust? and also the main drips were coming from above the gearbox near where the selector switch/wiring is and also from the other side of the gearbox in the same place. I thought it may have something to do with the air con? Ice forming on the condenser and melting? The air con was blowing at about a quarter, so I put the fan on full blast and it was pishing out pretty quick, the river that it formed on the road seemed to be clear liquid, not coolant.

Just to clarify, its not oil, not coolant, not gearbox fluid and not any other fluid, its clear so I presume its water. I don't have any underbody pics so I cant show you exactly where its coming from, plus I couldn't jack it up and also the light was fading quick, so I will investigate further tomorrow.

Any ideas? I'm presuming its something to do with air con.

Drains from the evaporator behind the heater matrix

Perfectly normal when aircon on

that's what I though, although, its never done it before, that I've noticed anyway. So the evaporator is up above the gearbox I presume?

Inside the car between the heater and the fan drains exit next to bellhousing...

Cheers, I can stop worrying now, I presumed it was air con related, but needed a second opinion, cheers ex taxi al
