Strange leak

[theheff]

Came out to the car to find this,

 

 

Seems to be coming from the inside of the arch/side skirt

 

 

From under the car, best i could do with the phone

 

 

Any ideas??

Any idea what it is?

 

Oil, brake fluid, petrol

[R35LEE]

Is it petroleum based or sreenwash? Your screenwash pipes are in the drivers wheel arch and go through the bulkhead where the foot pedals are.

Could be brake fluid also so check levels

what corner is it?

[Squee]

I have this on my car too - if you feel behind the corner of the skirt that it's dripping from you'll probably (hopefully!) find out that it's just a load of mud and crap that's absorbed moisture and drips. It always happens after my car's been bathed and from the looks of yours I'm guessing you gave it a clean over the weekend?

 

Hope it is only the same 'problem' as mine!

Its the front drivers side. I checked the brake fluid. It smelt petrolly if im honest but i thought petrol evapotarted quickly??

problem solved. i had left a small bottle of oil in the door card which has leaked and the oil has made its way out. thats a relief, thought it might have been something bad.

At least your door won't corrode in a hurry.

 

Top tip- stick ya oil in a carrier bag and put it in the boot inside the spare wheel. Loads of room for stuff in there if your not bothered about carrying the extra weight.
