Leon,
I'm assuming your car is a Tuscan S, mentioning, as you do, a splitter?

Can't think of a tube that exits the bodywork there. Further back on the nearside, in line with the battery box, there are tubes draining the heater blower motor 'void' and the condensate from the aircon.

You say pink - my first suspicion would be that it's antifreeze - so I'd check rad hoses and the rad' itself.

if it's offside wing area it could be carbon canister? Trying to think of what would leak pink, as Nick suggested coolant, or possibly power steering fluid?

I had the seals go on my steering rack, that left a pinkish fluid on the road. I would check the gator's to see if any fluid is leaking.

Leon,

Firstly, welcome to the ultimate smile club ( silver tuscans are the fastest by the way), I have had a Tusc S for 5+'years, and there is nothing under the splitter, it's tooooo low. As previous posts suggest, it is probably a leaking rad.

Enjoy the Tusc, , but watch loud pedal for a while, until u get used to it


Have fun

On my Tuscan MK1, at the front on the passenger side I have a small bore pipe which is the wiper wash over flow - might be this.

Never noticed this!!

Must go and overfill the wash bottle now to see where it comes out. Thought in true TVR fashion, it just bibbled over and found it's way to the deck via a gap in the front grill/wing joint.
