Water under front passenger wheel arch....

[Mennox]

Hi all,

Been quiet for a while but thought I would check whether this is an issue or not. I have noticed this for a while, pretty much every time I go out for a drive and come back home, there is a small patch of water just under the front passenger wheel arch...
...I have thought whether its just water drainage but it happens when it hasnt rained for 4-5 days too.

Anyone else notice this and do you think I should contact the dealer to investigate?

I have checked under bonnet and cant see any obvious loss of fluid.

Not AC condensate by any chance?
Does where you park have a slight camber?

And I would only expect that if the AC was left running while you were parked.

Water from that area would normally come from the scuttle drains, after you washed your windscreen.

Thinking out loud ?

As above, have you been using your ac? has always happened to me with previous cars, probably just condensation from the ac unit.

Aye could be from the AC as its always on (albeit low)....it does make me think its just drainage as its only a small amount too.

The camber is very ever so slight, though will actually check this tomorrow now i think about it

Ours does this after we have the a/c on so I believe, as others have said, it's just the condensate from this.

Almost certainly condensate from the evaporator.
