Water leak or condensation?

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

 

I noticed a damp patch under my mk 1 Octavia the other day. On investigation I found water droplets coming from what seems to be a rubber 'vent' behind a flap in the sound-deadening pad low down on the baulkhead in the engine compartment on the passenger side.

 

The 'leak' stops after a while but re-appears when the engine is started. No water loss from the radiator expansion bottle.

 

Where is this water coming from and do I have a problem?

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

 

 

Air-con humidifier?  If so, perfectly normal?
