Liquid drip near gearbox, ideas?

Post by mjennings23 » Fri Aug 11, 2017 6:51 pm

As above, now I don't think its anything serious but just wanting to check!

Seems to be dripping around the gearbox area, as far as I can tell its just water, as its clear and odourless, but I'm curious where it might be coming from?

No internal or boot leaks that I can see, and I've checked quite thoroughly, initially figured it could be liquid from the AC condenser, extracted from the inside as I have the air con on all the time?

Any other ideas? As I say I'm sure it's just water so not alarmed in any way, coolant levels haven't dropped so it isn't that.
