Talking

Whilst on holiday many years ago with a few mates we came out of the golf club to find our designated driver for the day looking at a pool of yellow liquid that appeared to be coming out from the front wheel of his car.

Being daring/stupid he put his finger in it and declared it looked like brake fluid. He then put his finger to his mouth to carry out a taste test, never was sure why, just as the club dog appeared from the other side of the car looking well pleased with itself

Couldn't play for toffee that afternoon

Parked my MY00 5dr last week on a slope. As I was getting the kids out I noticed a small pool of water running down the hill (Less than a half cup of water. It tasted like pure water and was clear. I had used the air-con recently and it was coming out of a curved pipe (pointing downwards) towards the back of the engine bay (can post picture if required). 2 hours later it had all gone.

Is this just condensation dripping from the air-con or should I be looking at it again?
