[jmorris]

hey guys, Just parked up and noticed a puddle of clear watery fluid forming under the car. It feels slightly oily between fingers, Its seems to be comin from the back of the engine bay.
Any ideas what it is??

Hi,

What colour is it, Red/Purple?

Welcome to the forum by the way

Thanks,
Its clear, Just like water

if it's colourless i suspect it is just water from your Aircon so nothing to worry about.

Thanks, i was hoping it would be that!

^^^^
But you describe it as "oily". DSG oil? Though that isn't really colourless.

It's not coolant is it ?
That can sometimes feel a bit 'oily' so to speak

I would also say condensate from the air con. Mine does it. The oil may have come out of the ground you parked on. Like when it rain, the water lifts oils from the road making them greasy.

I also get the same very occasionally and was also under the impression it was from the aircon.
