Hello all
I have noticed a small puddle on the floor of my garage under the front driver side of the bumper.
Any advice for me?
Mine is a 2006 3.0si
 
If your car is RHD it could be the seal at the bottom of the windshield washer reservoir. Easy to replace yourself.
 
sounds like leaking headlight washer jets. check your washer reservoir to see if the level has gone down and for any puddles on the chassis rails.

This is something I need to do as well. Is this on the main container or at the washer jet?
 
One of my headlight washers developed a leak a few weeks ago. It wasn't at a hose connection, it was the body of the washer itself, meaning it needed replacing to fix it. I opted to disconnect the washer hoses instead, and plug the hose that comes out of the headlight washer pump (and remove the fuse for the headlight washers).

Quite easy to replace, but around £65 each parts only.
I’ve had both mine replaced.

Far easier to replace them than to block them off, but the headlight washers don't perform a useful function (for me, as it's a weekend fun car) and don't justify the expense :)

Great job. So not water pump?

None of us can confirm that without inspecting your car, but headlight washers are a common culprit :) Since it could be a coolant leak, I'd recommend investigating it and fixing the leak - wherever it's coming from :thumbsup:
 
if you have xenons then you'll need to have your headlamp washers working come MOT time. otherwise they're not essential.

i replaced mine with £20 second hand ones from ebay

Yes I should have highlighted that fact, thanks :)
