dunks Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 The cars been in the garage over winter , I went around to it today, fitted a new battery, drove it out of the garage and a very rapid drip started between the wing and door on the nearside. had a feel around and drip seemed to stop , did a couple of jobs in the garage then started the car back up and reversed it back in, to see a stream of fluid on the floor , and it continuing to drip in the garage , there was no sign of any leak in the garage over the winter , no sign of any kind of leak under the frunk , but also i've not used the washer jets , anybody know if there's anything else located in that area apart from the screenwash bottle, or any thoughts ?

Pordave Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Salutary tale. Be careful with the taste test! I had a VW being serviced and the mechanic saw what looked like water coming from below the bumper, he did a taste test as he couldn’t see any leaks and it turned out to be cats pee.
