Hi Guys

Just wanted some reassurance. Had to do a 250 mile drive yesterday stopped half way for pee break when I got back to the car the bloke in the car next to me told me I was leaking fluid. Looked down small trikle running dow the car park. Check then fluid it had the consistency of water, no smell and no taste  . The car is running fine there is no loss of level in the expansion tank and the temp remains at a constant 85 Deg Cen.

My assumption if the A/C am I right or should I be investigating further??

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Sounds right. Tends to be 2 small patches, in line with back of engine.

Could be air con, but always good to investigate where the leak ( if its a leak ) is coming from

Thanks guys,

The position of the drips were from the rear of the engine between the two exchuast downpipes and amouted to a small cup full of water.

Always shake it vigorously (but don't look as if you're enjoying it!) before putting it back in your trousers, that should solve the 'leakage' problem.

I'd have thought the weather is too cold at the mo for your a/c to be generating any appreciable amount of condensation. And don't they shut off below about 4degC anyway?
