Ok first off it wasn't raining. Second the air conditioner wasn't on.

I drove home from work, when I got home I left the car running in the driveway I was just grabbing a few things and going back out. So I pull back out of the driveway and notice a puddle underneath where the engine was before I pulled out. It was water So I drive to giant food store get out and look under the car sure enough there is a little trail of water drops from me pulling in.

Now this all happened at night, so I didn't check anything until this morning. All I found is one of the bolts holding the turbo to the manifold was loose. Just one. The antifreeze is full the oil is full. Now, the only other symptom my car has is it sounds considerably deeper. It's hard to ascertain anything really because the HKS single is so loud.

Again the air was not on and it wasn't raining. I ran the car for about 5 miles today and it dripped a little bit of water but I can't tell where it's coming from. I use prestone 50/50 antifreeze that is pre-diluted so even though it doesn't smell like an antifreeze leak I haven't ruled it out.

Two weeks ago the car topped out at 6800 rpms pushing it on the highway, and then I re-gapped the plugs to .30 and it was fine. I don't know if this has anything to do with the water.

 

Oh and when I say puddle it was like a 1 foot diameter circular puddle, not like drops here and there.

 

So what's your question?

 

How about looking under the car to determine where the fluid is dripping from

 

 

If it looks like water and doesnt smell or look like coolant its probably condensation thats leaked from one of the flanges on the exhaust system. One of the byproducts of the combustion reaction is water.

 

Ok well its not water, and its dripping off the oil pan. Its not oil, the car isnt overheating so im guessing its not a head gasket any ideas anyone. The oil pan drips a clear fluid every 20 seconds when the car is running. It could be antifreeze because i use the prediluted but as i said the car isnt overheating and the coolant level is fine.

Whatcould it be
Anyone had this problem

 

seriously, you, yourself, are going to have to go under your car and follow the trail of liquid back to the place it is coming from.

It isnt that hard to do, let the car run, get your puddle.
turn car off, jack car up, get under car, use flashlight follow liquid trail

seeing how gravity pulls things, including liquids, down to the ground, of course anything leaking higher is going to drip off the oil pan.


it's coolant.
