Leaking car fluids

[AtW]

AtW, you really are stupid sometimes.

I noticed this change in my car's behavior and it was consistent with fuel leak I had last year.

I did not observe such aircon condensation leaks previously, maybe because I don't get up that early in the morning

And, er, can't you tell the difference between diesel/petrol and water?

Well, it was black as it was liquid on black road - what did you want me, use lighter to find out if its water?

Dip your finger in it and sniff it. If it smells of fuel, it is fuel. If it's oily it's oil / brake / transmission fluid.

Atw,

Get shot of the PUG and get a black BMW X5, pimped wheels and blacked out windows.

Are you a Russian or not?

Your a/c should be drained and recharged every two years. The new environmentally friendly gas is pours in aluminium. You have been penny pinching so go to a specialist (not Kwik Fit) get it drained, and recharged with a sealant. This should cost about £50

Actually I service my car at the dealers usually, but don't do MOT anymore with them - last time I serviced it was last year I think.

If I see it leak more I think I'll have to go to some garage, don't like reputation of Kwik Fit though.

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

'Cos you isn't a contractor.

Actually my AMG used to leave puddles of water occasionally under the car and that was due to the air conditioning and nothing to worry about according to the dealer. The engine blew up later...
