Just discovered a fluid leak under the front nose of the car .. aaargh , my credit card's heatin up in my pocket!! ( Feels nice tho!!)
Seriously , any Ideas?
Seems of the water variety, clear , odourless , non viscous.
There's no coolant loss .
Are the windscreen washer bottles prone to leaks or could it be something more sinister??
The leak's a very slow one .. couple of droplets a min.

No its almost definately water (no oily feel between my fingers) and seems to be dripping fom the underside of the front wing , about 1 foot under the front , in the middle.

Hope you're right, Twitchy!! (sorry) Was thinking on the same lines except it's been a fewdays since I filled the water bottle and (believe it or not) it hasn't rained here in Dublin in the last 48 hours. It has been quite frosty tho , perhaps the water in the bottle expanded??

Glad no one has come up with tales of doom associated with this leak. I'm assuming nothing's going to explode in the next week or so , by which time it'll be in moneymaker's (sorry ..opc) for it's annual. Thanks for the contributions all.
