Maybe it's just crying because you haven't driven it for 30 hours??? Or you said bad things about it?? |

Thanks
Malcolm, I thought it might be the drain tube but the car has not been driven for 30hrs.
The cooling system does contain a coolant and it is a greeny colour.

348's have coolant leak issues that are commonly missed when a 30K is done.
I have seen several where the water pump was mistakenly replaced due to a leak that comes from a corroded fitting on the cylinder heads crossover pipe.
Like suggested though, put something down to catch the leaking fluid for analysis. |

Don't assume it's not coolant, the cooling system may be filled with just water so have it checked out. However, it does seem that its probably coming from the A/C drain tube that protrudes from the front under-tray. A simple test is to slide a large piece of white paper under the front of the car and track the leak back from there.

Hey Guys,
In my pre buy inspection they noted that there was a "coolant leak from engine". Now being where I live in Asia and english is not their first language, I took this to mean that there was a leak from the radiator somewhere.
I have discoverd tonight a water puddle under the front of the car about 30cm X 30cm.
It was not coloured so am i right to assume its from the Aircon system? if so any ideas on where !!
Thanks
