Went to Vauxhall at 8am this morning feeling slightly worse for wear. After about an hour my car's got new seals on the air fan switch radiator thingy-a-me-jig. Cost about £40 as they kindly charged me £27 labour, but its fied now so Im not fussed.

Hopefully that will stop the leak. the guy (who is actually quite helpful) couldn't say why the leak wasn't found at either the service or the visit last weekend :boggle: I got some new anti-freeze put in too whcih should sort me out thru the winter :)

it won't produce condensation if its not running!

So thats prolly not your problem after all.

It is advisable to run your aircon (even briefly) at least once a month to stop it seizing up!

I do have air con yeah, - but my mums Corsa C with air con doesn't do it and its only recently that ive noticed it.

Sure its only a 'bi product' of the air con and not a leak? I thought the water smelt of something when i whiffed it.

It isn't a problem! It's a by-product of the air conditioner.

*IF* that is the problem of course... ... might not be.

If you've got air-con then id agree with Mike.

I had this problem recently with my aircon.

May be condensation from the air conditioning!

(BTW the drip on the floor comes from the back of the drivers headlight - the car was moved from the original drip location (its more like 2ft to the left as you look at it).

Any ideas what it could be?

I took my car to Vauxhall yesterday. I had it serviced 2 weeks ago and ever since then there's been a leak. I told them about it and took it back to have them look for it. They thought it may be an oil leak.

They have the car for 3 hours. They phone me and say theres no leak. I tell them its behind the passenger headlight and drips onto the floor. they go and double check.

I ask them to check my central locking (rear right door doesn't work, passnger front AND rear now don't work).

they want the car for a day to diagnose whats wrong with the rear-right door. they think its a harness prob. they think cos i changed it to add leccie windows it may be incomaptible. they want to replace the loom but can't do it and keep my leccie windows and can't modify the car - only replace vaux for vaux -as their policy states.

I ask instead for three solenoids and ill try fixing it myself. £51 each.

I pick the car up, no charge, but they say theres no leak, everythings tight and bone dry.







Ive included some pics today that may suggest toherwise - so the cars going back next weekend. I think its water. radiator, air con, not sure where from, but Vauxhall missed the drips and soaked axel / sus strut thing - which sort of gives it away!
