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

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.

Has anyone any ideas? was driving over to a friends house yesterday and drove for about 30 minutes motorway driving, stopped at some shops and when I came out noticed a puddle in-line with the left hand exhaust pipe but a few inches back, it was clear/green in colour.
When touched it felt like a very watered down washing liquid, which I'm guessing might be anti freeze and water mixed??
Checked the oil and water all seemed ok so drove on for about another 15 minutes to get to where i was going as there was not a lot I could do in a carpark all seemed fine.
Parked up and left the car for awhile and came back only to find a few drips on the floor this time, on having a look under the car it seems like it must be coming from above the middle manifold cause there was signs of this being wet.
The air-con was not on at all yesterday has anyone any clues? car seemed absolutely fine to drive.
Hi,
Don't know how brave you are but follow this link in Rennlist (you will need to register, it's free and worth doing) and it will show you how to change it:

9 times out of 10 it's the tank, and in a place where you can't see it (around the back). Usually a pin hole or crack, and they only leak when hot. I believe they are about £150 plus fitting, but I am sure someone can tell you exactly - I'm sure it will be fresh in someone's memory.........
Just out of interest; how many miles has the car done; is it a 3.4 or 3.6; do you keep it in a garage; which is your favourite in the God Father trillogy?
36,000 miles 3.4 C4 not garaged (and I must be the only bloke in the whole world not to have seen the God Father although will get round to seeing it one day!!)
Thanks for everyone's input!
