Leaking something?
« on: March 19, 2012, 09:16:29 am »
Just got to work, noticed a tiny bit of steam on my way in but thought it was from the damp bonnet. Having parked I then saw a small trail of orange / brown liquid. Any ideas what it might be? It's coming from between the front drivers side wheel and headlight.

Could it be your water coolant contaminated or curded from mixing? check your coolant - make sure theres no sludge or discolouring.

Thanks I'll have a look later. The 20 mile trip took about 1.5 hours so there was a lot of time spent not moving. I wonder if some coolant was released if it got a bit too warm.
