Yesterday discovered a leak mark on driveway. Fluid leak slightly off to right of centre as you look under the car, with a smaller patch to its left maybe inline with front wheels. Parked in garage, checked short while later and damp patch on garage floor. Checked fluids, wash/wipe down, topped up. Put cardboard under car to check colour of leak. Checked this morning. Single patch on cardboard, no smell other than damp cardboard, not discoloured. Checked fluid levels, wash/wipe fluid down - topped up. Have now put plastic tray lined with white paper under car. Now waiting to see if level drops again. I have a very good sense of smell but can't detect even a slight odour with this fluid - any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Air-con removes moisture from the air and dumps it under the car as water

Thanks alan333 for your reply, if this is the case, any suggestion why it hasn't done it before, that I've noticed. Had the car just over a year.

Any sort of oil or washer fluid would have an odour, I also suspect it is the AC condensed water dripping down. The ambient air temperature is now cooler, so water does not disperse as quickly. Do you use the AC much at this time of year?

Thanks Parts-King for your reply. I have recently started using the auto a/c system rather than manual adjustment.

Try switching the air con off for a day or two and see if it stops happening.
