    2009 BMW E60 parked up this morning at 9am- no problem.

    Just passed the car a few minutes ago and there is a pool of water and dripping from just under the driver's door and right wheel arch. No smell or foam and clear looks like water. Car parked slightly tilted down toward that side.

    No sign of anything else- cannot fathom what it could be. Radiator?:confused:

    Where I marked two dots on the pics is basically dripping.

    Probably. It's very humid out there today.

    I am in England and it is close to 30 degrees out there.


    But the car had not moved in hours- is that relevant?


    The water was cool, clear, and odourless. No obvious signs of anything looking in the engine bay but it is so covered up.

    The aircon draws moisture out of the air, especially when the outside humidity is high, the water has to go somewhere and just drains away somewhere under the car.

    I noticed driving home this evening after about 20 minutes the air con got a lot colder. It was 30 degrees outside.
