was it raining?

wheres that from then,

Don't know, where was it coming from?
If it's still there, take the bash plate off and find out exactly where it's from. If it's just water, and you don't have a/c, it's probably just a puddle from the last rain.

hi, had a good look defo clear cold water we have had a lot of rain also im told i have a ac rad under there some where can that leak, rad and expansion tank seem ok, cheers

The ac radiator should, at one point in its life, have had coolant gas of some sort in it, not water.

The only things I can think of that would cause water dripping are AC drain (which lets out the condensation from the cooling matrix inside the cab, via a small pipe in the lower passenger side of the firewall), engine coolant (only if you have water instead of coolant - check what's in the rad), windscreen wash or rain water (possibly puddling somewhere). My money would be on the last one.

However, to be sure, you'll need to get the bash plate off and check exactly where it's coming from. It's an easy job, 4 12mm bolts and it falls away.

i thought the front bolts for the bash plate were 14mm heads? i have taken mine off and i have two 14mm heads at the front and two 12mm heads at the rear unless someones been playing before and replaced them

i once had cold water dripping from the bash plate
took me ages to find were its was coming from
iam not talking a lot just a dripp
i started looking at it every time i stoped

so i took the bash plate off coz thats were it was coming from
it was dry but there was a damp bit that ran down the back of the bash plate

the inner side of my rad (coolent one) was also damp not leaking just damp

i fired her up and sat it there on idel

from the under side i could see a very small drip
if i shined a light down the back of the rad i could see a very small leak p1ssing out in needle like fashion
that leak nearly blow the head
it over heated while i was looking
i turned her off rad out and sorted it
the smallest leak needs to be found it looked like cold water for me too
it was a very small leak that ran cold by the time it driped off the bash plate
so be aware dude just check ya rad with a fine tooth comb

You're probably right, sorry! Mine's been out, sat in the back garden, for about a year to make access easier.

edit: just saw Nev's reply, who knows!
