Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

AC is still running super cold, so I can only assume it was moisture condensing on the exhaust as the weather has been very damp with temps up and down.

Suggestion
Could be aircon pipe, we had an O ring fail just behind the driver's door (UK) and had a puddle of fluid that looked luminous due to the ultraviolet dye added to allow leaks to be found using UV lights.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello All, Noticed this puddle today - any ideas what it is? Seems to be coming from the drivers side, possible from above the header pipes as its dripping off them. Thanks in advance.

POST 3Original post

If the car was put away wet ... could just be `salted` rainwater reacting with the component metallurgy I have had this on a previous Cayman R

POST 4Original post

Defiantly looks like A/C fluid to me, the compressor and a few joints are right above there and it should be easy to identify the culprit. Hopefully just an ‘O’ring. Good luck & keep us informed. Andy

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys - I kinda thought AC fluid, but didn't want to believe... I already did the two pipes under the sill and both condensers. I guess its something to do with the compressor. Car was dry when last put away. I had a rough look but couldn't see anything. Will get the car up in the air and let you know what I find.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quick update. I cleaned the floor when I originally saw this issue. No further puddles appeared. I needed to do some other jobs on the car, so got her up on axel stands. I couldn't see any fluid above the header pipes at all. No sign of leaks around the AC compressor or pipes - although it is very difficult to say with confidence. I needed to warm the engine and didn't see anything leaking at all. AC is still running super cold, so I can only assume it was moisture condensing on the exhaust as the weather has been very damp with temps up and down. I think I will park the car the other way around so that the engine isn't up against the garage door.
