Z4M Mysterious Liquid

Kernow-Z4

Member
So ive had my Z for a few months now, the first problem appears to have surfaced.
This amber coloured liquid is visable on the rear subframe foward of the diff but behind the gearbox.
Initially i though it to be diff oil, however it doesnt smell awful and is a clear thin consistancy unlike the usual thick smelly used diff oil.
Has anybody any ideas what it could be or has had any similar experiances.

Yeh, i thought brake fluid, the resovoir doesnt look to have lost any with it being at the max level already.
However these droplets only appear after the car has been started, the trouble is without acsess to a ramp its difficult to take any vanity panels off to have a look.
 
Don't forget that the reservoir consists of two parts, one for the clutch and one for the brake.

On my first Z, I was bleeding the clutch until the cows came home as I was looking at the wrong part of the reservoir. Take the lid off to check that both parts are at the max level.
