WTF? rolleyes.gif

Do you actually see it dripping (or notice the puddle getting bigger...) throughout the day?
Have you driven it yet?
If so, when you park and come back is there a puddle in the same location?

Maybe it was just water that collected somewhere in your engine bay after it rained and spilt out slowly or something.

How do you know it's water?

what is in your windshield washer reservoir? Honestly, the only things that should have water is the battery. Not that I am asking you to drink it.. but did you at least taste it?

don't laugh... coolant and battery acid, while harmful, cannot hurt you to just touch a bit to your tongue.. just spit it out quick and in the case of the battery acid.. have something around to get rid of the bitter taste.

LOL, reminds me of the time I found a leak under a C-130 engine. I stuck my finger in it to see if it was oil or hydraulic fluid. It had a weird smell and was not oily so I stuck my hand in it to get more on there. Turns out someone had just taken a leak under the engine. owned.gif
