Cerbera Help

[Cerbus]

I have a 4.5 Cerbera. Some times in the following day to a trip I verify that in the floor is some water of a yellow color. Is placed in the front of the right side of the car (the side of the driver). Could anyone say to me what liquid it is and why it is appearing ? Thanks.

Yellow fluid....
Could be coolent or something similar as some anti-freeze is yellow but most are blue or green. Engine oil could be yellow but that is not water based. Are you sure it is water? If it is oily, could be hydraulic fluid which is a major problem as it could be either brake or hydarulic fluid. PAS fluid should be red BTW.
Get it looked at pronto as the next time you use the brakes they may not work! A clutch failure is the lesser of the two evils but better to get it sorted rather than wait until it strands you in the middle of nowhere.

If it is water could be condensation draining from the air con. Doesn't explain the yellow colur unless it is getting contaminated in some way.

Only appears after having the car stopped for a long time. It is not oily. But the yellow color is mysterious. I gone to have a closer look.

just a point you might want to check, when I had a leak in passenger footwell, the water was pink from the dye in the carpets, I was going through all the fluid levels etc but realised thats all it was...what colour are your carpets/overmats? I am looking to drive down to the Algarve in the spring in my cerb, how do you go about servicing you car down there?

I had to have an antifreeze top-up in Portugal of this year and the colour was yellow.

Could be "rust" coloured water?

Yellow liquid...hmmmm, has a driver had a close encounter of the scary kind and temporarily lost control........

dip your finger in it and taste it !
if its sweet its radiator water with anti-freeze

obviously braver man than me john!! wot if mudstud is right?

Check colour of screenwash, dodgy hose connection ?
P.S. On the tasting subject never eat yellow snow, I'm a practising alcoholic & will drink most things, but I'd have to draw the line at tasting things found in my footwell.

It wouldn't kill you. What are you all...men or mice.

Drinking urine is probably healthier than water. At least you know the urine is sterile.
