Puddle of water appearing on floor near to fos wheel

Featured Replies

For the last week or so, most mornings I've found a small puddle of water just inside the line of the fos wheel on the garage floor. I'd say that it amounts to about 2 or 3 tablespoonfuls. I've tasted the water and it certainly isn't coolant, and in any event the water level in the expansion tank hasn't changed.

I'm sure it's not aircon derived as I've not used it for about. the same period. I thought it was rainwater being held with somewhere below the windscreen but I've no idea where to look.

To sum up, I don't think this is serious to take the car off the road, but it niggles me that I cannot find a solution.

Hopefully one of you might be able to suggest something. Thanks

grajay, It sounds like it is AirCon related.

This hot weather the Air con is working hard.

Have you got a Sun Roof?

Oh, & what is "the fos wheel" ??? 🙂

Aircon has not been used in the last 4 days. No sunroof.

fos = front-off-side

My only other ideas are -

1) Blocked holes in the plastic cover that sits under the front wiper arms, ahead of the base of the windscreen.

2) Washer bottle or a pipe from it has sprung a leak. That makes more sense as OSF / FOS

N/S/F

But don't loos any sleep over it.

FOS = found overly stiff ?

Thanks for the ideas. I too thought it might be rainwater and I checked the drain hole on the offside but that was perfectly clear, and the car hasn't been out of the garage in any rain for 4 days. It's not the washer bottle either as I have a washer fluid additive and the water is blue and not clear.

Once I find out what it is I shall certainly report back.
