Hi Guys

In my garage I've noticed a damp patch and sometimes a small puddle under the drivers side rear wheel. Its a clear liquid and has no smell. First thought was rainwater but its odd as its just under one wheel only. Any ideas please?

Thanks
Neil

Yes but I never turn it on as I've been getting the error code Aircon Fault 137 - unless it has been running constantly...

It's the only thing I can think of. Have you tried to trace the leak with the wheel off or car up at all?

Rear inner wheel arch drain hole blocked and dribbling?

Thanks guys. No not had a proper look yet but hopefully this rules something out hugely serious. Will have a bit of a tinker
Thanks

OOps, sorry, definitely not the aircon, that's at the front! (Should have read that one better!)

I know you say it has no smell, but it could be a fuel tank leak.

Now you mention it the garage does smell of petrol immediately after starting it or parking up.... but the liquid on the floor didn't smell of petrol... unless the smell fades after sometime....?
