Hi,
I've noticed a few drips of water dripping down from the sump cover when I've parked my car. Initially I thought it was water from the air con condenser and didn't worry about it, especially as my engine water level didn't/doesn't seem to be going down.
But the other day I started the car for all of 30 seconds (to move it on the drive), and there were still a few drips of water afterwards.
The water seems very clear and pure - not at all slippery like it might be if it had anti-freeze in it. So I'm really not sure what's going on. I can't see any obvious leaks but my vision of all the pipework is limited by all the other engine gubbins.
Does anybody have any advice? Would the climate control be condensing water after just a few seconds, at this time of year?
Thanks
W
