Default Mystery Leak

Hi,

Anyone know what this strange leak could be ?

As you can see its been staining the drive for some time. The dark one is a fresh drip.

It doesn't appear to have an odor.

Any help much appreciated.

The aircon water drain is around there.
It's normally clean water which comes out but your hole may be bunged with debris causing the discolour.

At the risk of sounding flippant, it's easy to spot because it'll have liquid dripping out.

well, id like to think so, but ive had it at the volvo garage in newcastle and they couldnt spot it. also, when I showed them the pic that I posted here, they said that "theres no orange liquid in your car" so it cant be a problem

I'll have a butchers. Thanks again.

Rusty water coming out the sill / bottom of the door? I had a 2 year old Civic which made a sloshing sound as it went round corners. Found the rubber one-way values in the bottom of the passenger door had stuck shut so all the rain water getting past the window rubbers was collecting inside the door. A good few litres came out when I cleared the blockage.
