Hi Folks, I'm after a little advice please.

I have a fluid leak in front of the NSF wheel on my 987s that I initially thought was engine oil. However, on closer inspection and having removed the arch liner I'm not so sure - I'm beginning to suspect air conditioning fluid.

I can see that there are two radiators back to back in the front bumper on this side, one of which is obviously engine coolant, but I can't tell for sure what the other is for. The fluid I'm finding is definitely not engine coolant, so must be coming from the other system.

I've got the car booked in, but it would be great to know whether I can drive, or should get it recovered. (Obviously, I've not started as don't want to risk further damage)

Can anyone say for sure what rads are lurking in that front bumper ? Oil cooler, or air con heat exchanger ?

Appreciate your help.

Air Con condensers sits infront of water rads in the front bumper one each side.

Would suggest taking a very close look at the other side whilst bumper off and do them both if suspect whilst the system is apart.
