Leaks Slight damp patch under engine

rik_t · 15th March 2011, 18:10

Hi,

Today I have noticed a very small damp area on the driveway under the engine. When looking underneath I could see two drips of water ready to fall from the undertray. I touched them and they don't have a distinctive smell. Is this normal or should I get it checked out?

Thanks

Aircon maybe?

Don't think I have had the aircon on (being winter

)
I normally have the screen turned off so not sure what climate setting I'm using at moment. I'm pretty sure its in manual mode on low. So not using the auto climate or a/c funtion.

Could have been wrong, just been outside to car. I noticed that as soon as I turned the key a fan started. I turned on the screen onto the climate screen and noticed a/c on. Turned the a/c off and the fan stopped (engine not running during all this)
So thanks for the tip, looks like it was usual aircon patch.
