    Sounds more like coolant. No other blue fluids in the car.

    Right, had the same experience, for a few months drops of coolant under the car (sweet smell and taste b.t.w.). Then suddenly a small pipe under the plenum failed. Having removed the plenum I changed all pipes, just in case.

    Ever since no more drops under the car.

    Same experience as well, just ordered new water radiator, without previously checking pipes…not so smart.
    Were the spots under the left side of the car?

    Don't remember what side the spots were on.... Thinking I would just drain and replace all lower hoses and pipes... if this seems to be a common issue? where would I find the hoses and pipes?

    thx

    Not the lower ones, the ones under the intake plenum. There is one hose with a 180 degree bend that is particularly troublesome on the 612. I believe SRI was working on a metal replacement for the 180 degree bend part, combined with a shorter hose, but not sure they ever released it.
