[mr84darren]

just noticed my car leaking rusty water from underneath. it looks like its coming from the centre of the car not under the engine bay.its too dark to check properly so does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be?

cheers

water from rad, and / or pipes feeding the rad... it can apear brown in colour.

Check your coolant levels

:( Hiya...i got a coolant leak more or less in the same place.Traced it back to the heater return pipe(long brass section),just behind the exhaust heat shield.The bit where the welded on bracket is,hair line crack right on the weld,water seeps out when cold and runs down the side of the fuel tank.Expansion closes the gap as soon as i start up though and stops the leak so not to fussed.Just need to top the coolant a little every week end or so.Thought about thowing in a bars leak,any thoughts off you guys on these quick fix products.
