Hi,

I've just noticed that I've got a water leak on my 2008 XKR. It's located fairly central and quite far back, probably behind the start of the windscreen. I can't get under it at the moment to see exactly where it's coming from and can't see bugger all in the engine bay laugh.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Not wishing Granny to suck eggs, but are you sure it's not just the a/con?

Can you tell whether it is antifreeze or water?

It COULD be the hose under the supercharger

Could be the condensation from the air/con, called the AA out last week as my wife's VXR Astra was dripping in the garage.

AA man said this is responsible for a lot of "false" call outs.

Best be sure though, it could be a split hose which could have catastrophic results......smile

Thanks. My initial thought was condensation but then I got worried about the volume - it was a steady drip, drip. Then again it was pure water - no smell, colour, oily feel etc. so I guess I was worrying about nothing - it was pretty humid yesterday.
