i recently had my car service by honda at 80k.
my radiator had a leak in the top tank so had to get that fixed but now its all good supposedly.
went for a drive tonight and on the way back put my foot down for a bit.
got home and noticed there was a leak along my driveway under my car.
as its a bit dark its hard to see anything so i'll wait till tomorrow morning... but the fluid leaking is water...and definately not oil.
does water have anything to do with the aircon system? i'm hoping the radiator hasnt got borked again. otherwise it could possibly be the overflow bottle...but i'll check tomorrow morning..

if it was water it would be air con. if it was coolant it would be the radiator.
smell it.
also coolant is generally fluro green.

It's an overflow, its supposed to happen you would generally never notice as its normally dried up when you move the car next
Nothing to worry about

on a side note i have water leaking into my boot. i opened the boot and ran a hose at the top to see if it went under the seals. it didnt. the seals are new and in perfect condition yet im finding water in the wheel well (even though the wheel isnt there, the jack well?). any ideas?

have you checked the rain rail/gully at the bottom of the soft top? it could be blocked or leaking...
are you talking the space for the spare wheel?
if you mean the space where the jack is kept... have a look at this thread
