   Noticed a small puddle under my wife's car this evening but can't see where it could be coming from.
   A quick look under the car and the puddle sits on the floor directly under the alternator area so I'm discounting the radiator.
   Plus the coolant is at a good level.
   It's deffo not coolant or oil so wondering if it could be rain draining off somewhere under the engine bay.?
   
   Any ideas
   Cheers

   Cheers guys
   Wrong side for washer bottle leak.
   Completely clear,no smell or anything.
   I know that the sunroof drains out to behind the front wheels but this is more under the engine bay
