All

When I drove home tonight and parked in the drive I noticed a sizable wet spot on the drive, which on inspection was a leak coming out just to the right of the exhaust where two plates seem to meet.... the liquid appears to be water (no smell) and wondered if anyone had any ideas?

*Probably* aircon condensate (water) trickling down under the heat shield.

Mine left a large puddle in Tesco's earlier

Thanks C - I was hoping it was just down to the heat... will keep an eye on it.

It's AC, nothing to worry about.

mine does that too. Stick your finger in the liquid and taste to be sure... Also after a wash I get some in the exhausts by mistake that seems to take a couple of days to all seep through the rear exhaust clamps. Could be that too.

Cheers - stuck my finger in and sniffed it earlier and it looks / smells like water...

High humidity will add to the amount of water discharged.
