garside26779 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hi, first time poster here! I have a 57 reg 1.8 zetec focus manual. We mainly run around town in it, but went on a fair journey today around 100 mile round trip motorway mainly. When we got back I noticed a leak coming from the bottom, not under the engine bay however more around the centre near gearbox area. I would suspect transmission fluid but it was more like water, completely odourless, I would have thought transmission fluid would be oily??? Any ideas?

eddie eastwood Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Did you use the Air Con? if so more than likely condensation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Did you use the air con? (if you have it) it 'drains' from under the when you stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee_82 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Mine takes a little pee when I stop too, if in doubt, give it a little taste, you'll soon work out if its fuel, oil or coolant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garside26779 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Thanks everyone, it would make sense, yes the AC has been on lately as its not leaked before, but we havnt had the need to use the AC before. I will keep an eye on it for the rest of the week, I had a bowl under there tonight after she got back and its definitely water. Any other possibilities whilst we are at it?

Dee_82 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 nope! only clear water that comes out of this car is either from the AC or the exhaust, everything else will taste horrible 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Once saw a Vauxhall Insignia 'relieve' itself like a horse in our works car park. It was like a mini river! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
