Hi, I have a W reg Omega 2.0CD and have just noticed a leak coming from the front right of the car under the battery area to the right side of the radiator , I looked at the Rad and could see nothing obvious, I put a small bowl under it after running the car for a while and collected the fluid it was clear cold water. Whereas the car was still warm. Anyone got any ideas?? PS It is not raining!!!!! Many thanks  John

Any hint of screenwash in it?

Hi Mate , That is what i was thinking as i had filled that up two days earlier but used blue screen wash and the liquid is clear and water tasting i even went and tasted some of the screen wash i had put in it and even a small amount as i collected is definately tinged blue, i have just been out in the dark looking at it could it be something from the air con?

I do hope it's nothing terminal but it may be a thought as i had Similar symptoms..

Thanks for the info , I am going to have a good look tomorrow, the clear cold water thing is bugging me.

It could be nothing more sinister than condensation from the A/C bottle & pipe at the front right of the engine dripping onto pipes/cables beneath & running clear of the engine bay closure tray. It is worth checking this and discounting it as the cause before getting more involved IMO

Cheers Phil I think you are right just been on a big run no overheating,runs ace,  no loss of coolant etc and as said left a bowl under it last night , the water collected amounted to about a small yoghurt pot totally clear and tasteless as out of the tap!! Hopefully something of nothing. Cheers John

Try running for a couple of days with either the A/C off or ECO  If the problem goes away you've sussed it ..
