Argh - camping and have a leak
Hi
Perfect timing, we are camping down by swanage and noticed a smell coming from the car. On inspection there’s fluid dripping from the underside. It’s thin (watery) and has a slight yellow tinge but almost clear. At a guess either atf or diesel.
Heres a couple of quick pics of it.
Questions
Suggestions on what it is
Drive/no drive
Anywhere local recommended?56 HSE

That’s the fuel cooler, so it has diesel and coolant running through it. The ATF pipes are on the N/S so I suspect leak is diesel or coolant.Stu

Looks like a diesel leak - looks like the rear small braided injector leakoff pipe but it’s pretty tricky to see56 HSE
