My 996 C4S is usually used every day. It's an 04 with 30k miles. This week though it was left in the garage. Took the car out for a spin today and noticed a very small (10p sized) spot of what looks like a mixture of oil and water on the garage floor. Had a look under the car and there is a small area just forward of the sump drain where a pipe runs accross that has a small drip on the clamp that fixes the pipe to the car. Wiped it clean and no further drips have formed despite it being driven hard for 20 miles or so. Checked oil and water levels all ok. It was serviced about 5 weeks ago with a good indie (Autobahn) so I would have thought anything serious would have come up.

Should I be worried or is it simply the water mixing with dirt from the air which has then dripped to the floor.

I am not at all mechanically minded so any advice would be much appreciated as I am off to the Nurburgring this Friday!
