Title: Leaky FD !!!
Post by: oRi on September 14, 2004, 06:34:32 PM
Might\'ve sprung a leak. Patch on the ground by the front wheel on the drivers side looks like a mix of water and oil. The water part ain\'t a surprise what with the heavy rain we have had of late. I checked the oil at the weekend and again today and it seems ok.

Anyone any ideas? There is also sometimes a smell of pertol in the car, could they be related?

Hi,

Is this something that happens after driving or when it\'s been standing for a few days?

the water reservior is on the drivers side. If it is over filled the water willbe drawn out while driving and pushed back when hot or cooling down, it then overflows. Check the water level on the plastic filler bottle on the drivers side. FD\'s are very temp with the water levels.
