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

I've just taken my (18 month old) C4S out of the garage for a run out and noticed a 2 square metre wet patch on the garage floor under the whole back end of the car. The car was last out a week ago and the garage is well ventilated, so I presume this cannot simply be condensation. Having looked under the car the whole of the bottom of the engine and exhaust system is wet with what looks like a slightly yellow tinted liquid (coolant?). The car was serviced two months ago, but yet the coolant level is now just below the minimum mark. And finally, I've taken the oil filler cap off and there is a small amount of sludge. Has anyone come across this problem before? Obviously I'll be giving my OPC a ring first thing in the morning, but any advice beforehand would be appreciated so I don't look like a prat. Keith M

POST 2Original post

That's quite a big patch. Could be a leak from the expansion bottle or a loose hose connection

POST 3Original post

You would be amazed!! I deal with this on an almost daily basis in residential properties..... I've also noted a lot of salt on my garage floor recently, hardly surprising.....salt is hygroscopic, it attracts moisture, so can make the problem look worse than it is.

POST 4Original post

Could well be a split or pinhole in the header tank, they are prone to it. Usually around the back where you can't see it.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the responses - I'll keep my fingers crossed it is only condensation, but worst case scenario should be a simple (warranty) fix. Have taken her out for a short journey this afternoon (with air con off) and will check for water tomorrow. Keith M
