ran the v8 for a while today to check for oil leaks after the oil change the other day, good news no oil leak but have two separate water drips, one is obvious, coming from the overflow should be able to fix with a new rad cap, the other is a bit confusing, firstly doesn't look like coolant, it is as clear as spring water, at first i thought it was from the core plug behind the fly wheel, but as i said its not coolant and on closer inspection it looks like it is running down the outside of the offside of the front of the gearbox, have eliminated the screen wash and now stumped....HELP
-
rain water ?
-
hopefully, but only drips during and for a short time after engine has run
-
Condensation maybe.
:greggmo:
-
Or blocked / backed up drainage holes from the boywork escaping by mysterious vibration / warming of the engine ??
-
sure its not brake fluid?
-
def water, sniffed, touched and even tasted it, blocked drainage holes sound like the cheapest option so will go for that :hysterical: will take a proper look
-
Aircon?
-
Aircon?
none fitted
-
are the drain tubes from the heater air inlet blocked? ( the one on the scuttle)
