Leak from engine bay
« on: 14 July 2013, 22:42 »
Tonight I've noticed a oily/water mark on the drive coming from under the passenger headlight area. Anyone know what might be leaking from that area. The past couple of months are making me not like the gti as its had a few things go wrong with it  :sad:

Air con isn't working yet. I now think it was only dripping from there as I parked it on a hill. I think it's water then landing on the tray and mixing with the dirt to look oily. Could be anywhere. Once the compressor is getting fitted I'll get it checked

It was worth a guess as I had the air con on solid on a really hot day for 2 hours solid parked up in the garage and fair enough there was a little damp patch on the garage floor in the morning.
