Kev73 Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 As above ,found yellow fluid on the garage floor (no its not p1ss) inboard of the o/sr wheel, its not brake fluid as I first thought , no leaks form calliper and pipes etc but it does look like b/fluid but , its not coolant either , no PDK oil leaks either, the only water drips I can see are from the exhaust joint from the cat to the back box pipe but that's dirty water , theres evidence of the fluid has dried on the floor and its dried to a fine gritty texture a bit like antifreeze does but as i said its not coolant , just removed the wheel but cant see anything at all dripping of any signs of a fluid leak , its a bit annoying ,maybe it is that exhaust joint, I dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iborguk Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 PDK Clutch fluid would be the other guess , sounds like you've checked for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Maybe you daughter/son spilled some lucozade/lilt/OJ on the floor when your car wasn’t in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickLS7 Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 The oil filler tube is sited above there, might be worth checking it hasn't detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desiro Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 I had the same thing several weeks ago, but didn't expect it to be anything to do with the engine, because that's at the front right? Doh! Anyway I put it down to filling my Bilt Hamber snow foam bottle and spilling a bit. right or wrong it has not happened since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats it , it could well be neat snowfoam from a few weeks ago, a funny coincedence its exacty where the rear wheel sits in the garage, obviously spilt prior to a wash whilst the car was out of the garage on the drive, thats gotta be it .Mixed with dripping exhaust water , cheers! I'm new to the porsche world and not familiar with what colour fliuds pdk etc use so I thought it was something sinister at first, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mac Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Well solved @Kev73 - I had some weird yellow fluid like that once. I’d used the Mrs yellow nail varnish to mark caliper bolts - so I could tell when I’d moved them 90 degrees - rain had washed it off - took me weeks to figure it out 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
