Water leak from passenger side (think its under screen wash?

Hello

Over the past few weeks I've notice a tiny drip under car every now and again, did check its not oil and thought nothing of it..

Not used the car for two days this weekend then just moved it on drive (slight angle)

Jumped out and much more water, opened engine bay and really cannot see anything. its falling down behind front passenger wheel so would seem right for under screen wash bottle?

Guess will keep and eye on temperature tomorrow anything else on this side it could be?

Thanks

Has it rained recently? Or was the aircon on? Ray

Coolant leak.
However, I doubt that's your issue.

Probably originates from the water chanell at the hinge of the bonnet and runs to the side down and through.

Water can pool in many places and drop out later Ray

Also. The wing top air intake on passenger side can get gunked up and hold water, dripping out over prolonged time. If you lift bonnet and reach under the air duct there is a rubber drain point. Squeeze and and see of anything comes out. I ended up removing the wing top vent and removing some gunk.

^ thanks will look at that

This evening I just checked the level in the washer bottle and I first thought it's coming from there as correct side (passenger) but that's not gone down.

Checked the coolant level and that took 1L of water to top up. This however could have needed this from the 6 months I've owned it as I never checked it previously.

Nothing looks out of ordinary on my gauge computer gadget and its warming up and staying at its normal temperature.

It's definitely the passenger side and dripping almost at back of front wheel ( running down arch on inside)

That air intake will be looked at tomorrow

Stacey007 did you get to the bottom of your water drips? I have exactly the same on my 64 plate 110. Water dripping from the passenger front wheel liner dripping between the frame and the wheel. I put cardboard down and like you it looks like water, no colour but I will look further tomorrow. Thanks
