B7 Water Trails
Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2018 7:10 am
Hi all,
My car been doing this pretty much since I bought it.
When reversing off my very short drive, 2 pronounced leak trails are made, which then make a sort of small puddle and then the leak stops pretty much as soon as I head off in first gear.
I'm pretty certain it's not engine fluid, as it is definitely not oily, it's colourless and odourless, and if it were coolant I would have thought the levels would drop pretty quickly. I am aware I have a very slow coolant leak already but the amount of water on this trail cannot be the same leak.
Any ideas, I thought if may the air con compressor or a water trap. Or a build up of coolant after a sprited drive, which collects in a trap and then leaks out when the car is reversed??
Help!
