Keyser Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Any idea what it is? Oil, brake fluid, petrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Zada Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 what corner is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 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! S.

theheff Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 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.

Sam Mcgoo Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
