Info on leak required please.
Hi All,
Got my first D3 ever on Sunday and noticed something leaving marks wherever I park up. It is a clear liquid, but does have a slight oily feel to it and leave a mark on the tar, it doesn't evaporate away.
In the attached photo you can see the drip forming in the top red circle and the bottom circle shows the patch on the floor. The patch show was taken about 1 minute after parking up this morning, so seems to be a pretty big leak?
Can any shed some light as to what it is and the best way to sort it out.
Thanks in advance
Rob

Just a tip, you can see if it's oil based by letting it drip onto a piece of paper and see if it separates..
if it were me I'd give it a taste.. but that's me
all you can do really is remove the cover and have a good look around, it could be air con water that's been contaminated by all the crap sitting in your engine tray..
