Hello,

I have a water leak. It is not major, but it is sporadic.

It appears to be leaking under the car, in the middle, around the front seat area. Probably under where the gear stick is. It is only dripping and it is usually when I first start it up after a week in the garage and leave it running. When I then move off the drive there is a small pool of water...

However, after a drive I park up and there is never water under the car. I am confused.

Help!

Thanks guys.

Gregg

This could just be condensation.
Worth just keeping an eye on radiator and washer bottle water levels, but I would put my money on condensation.

Sounds like condensation to me too. Had something similar when I was having to turn my car over rather than go for proper run outs last year.

Yup, I have this if the car has been standing a while, it's condensation water leaking from the exhaust joint under the car

Great, thanks guys.

I noticed it when I was just turning it over, too. I am going with the condensation idea. No smell to it at all.

Thanks
