Wet patch on the garage floor

[judas]

Since getting the Tuscan I've noticed that sometimes when I come to get it out the garage there's a wet patch under it by the nearside front wheel. At first I figured it was just where rain water or water from being washed was draining out, but as it hasn't been rained on/washed for a week now and it's still doing it I'm beginning to wonder...

Reading Flasher's threat about his T350 pissing coolant onto his garage floor, would now be a good time to start worrying? Or is it just a case of 'they all do that, sir!'?

It's not condensation from the aircon is it? If it's just plain water, then I'd guess that this is what it is. If it's green or blue liquid, then that would be coolant.

Don't have air-con Better do some proper checking in the morning.

If the fluid is slightly sticky and oily then it is most probably a 'blown' damper. I would advise that you get the car up in the air to inspect.

Mine turned out to be a loose hose on the oil cooler. 5 minute job to tighten it up. Get it looked at, don't just leave it, like mine it's probably something very minor.

Dropped the car in at TMS this morning to have the coolant leak sorted - just in time for Bruntingthorpe on Saturday!

You've got water in your oil cooler? That IS something to worry about
