    Leaking car fluids

    Drove back to work yesterday and noticed my old PUG 307 (not yer average contractor car) is leaking fluids

    Considering last year after service at official dealer they clearly forgot to put fuel pipe well into engine and I had diesel leak like that I was worried that it may affect imminent SKA success, so had to leave car at the office and use public transport.

    Today called the AA and they checked it and said it was aircon condensation - I saw more of liquid in the morning, despite not driving car for 12 hours, and less during noon time. The AA's gun van also leaked, he said it was same thing

    I can imagine for the effete, it would have been quite startling. This is common not only to French cars. I should imagine the nightime dampness contributed hence a heavier flow in the morning, although on muggy days expect some seapage.

      I noticed I was having it during the day yesterday.

      Can it be that aircon is just old and causes this tulip? I am pretty sure replacing it would cost as much as the car is now worth - and I've got me private plate P4 YOV on it reminding me about my working days at certain retailer

        FTFY.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            I had severe condensation on the insides of my car windows with my last car. It happened on the first cold snap of winter. Took it to the garage and they patched it up muttering something about major components of the aircon. The chap at reception wouldn't tell me what a proper replacement would cost (probably didn't want to have a heart attack on his hands) so I assumed the worst and started looking for another motor.
            Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

              Is there a way to bleed aircon?

                Try the radiator first.

                  Where do you think all the moisture that the aircon extracts from the inside iof the car is supposed to go?

                  AtW, you really are stupid sometimes.
