Hi,

I've recently bought a 15 plate eco boost 1.25 and I've noticed a puddle directly under the engine after I've parked. I didn't think it was condensation from the air conditioning at first as it is directly under the middle of the car and I haven't been running the air con on most of my journeys. It does appear to only be water, although it is slightly brown and leaving marks on the drive. It seems to be collecting in a drip tray between the two front wheels, before escaping through some drain holes.

Is this simply the air con or should I take it to a garage to be looked at? All the coolant levels etc are at max, so I can't see how it can be anything serious.

Thanks.

Hi and welcome :). If I were you I would be going to the dealer, even if it's just so they can check that it's ok for your peace of mind. Any problem like that would be covered by the warranty. You could try not using the air con for a few days and see if the leak stops - you don't really need the air con in this weather anyway but it's best to run it for at least 10 minutes once a week to protect the components.

Thanks for your reply. I'll book it in.
