Hi all
Went out to the car today after it had been sitting for a day to be greeted with a greasy puddle under drivers front .
Anyway i'll put up some pics so you can tell me whats leeking now and will it stop me going on holidayy with it next weekend ( bloody typical )
There is a drip coming from the bottom black pipe pictured , seems to be a clearish greasy oily smelling liquid 







Rather annoyed cause were of on a cruise next weekend and now looks like will have to hire a car as im working every day next week

What are these black/metal pipes for ?... is it A/C or is it oil cooler for gearbox .
If its a/c i assume it will be ok to use as it doesnt work anyway .

I'm thinking oil cooler to/from auto box, but by no means sure. :-/

See what others say.

Yes thats the ones .... so its leaking and i'll assume shouldnt be driven then .
What is it leaking thats clearish ?
Is it just coolant ?
I thought the gearbox oil was a red colour

Bloody typical of this car 
Off on hols next weekend and working every day this week and need the thing to get too and from work .
How on earth do i find time to get it fixed even by VX

Perhaps disconnect, clean and re-seat.

Short cut may be jubilee clips in addition to the clamps as a short cut and see if it can be tightened a bit further.  If the area or any pipes are rotten then perhaps new or used parts.  Seems pretty accessible but I don't know your car to say how you would replenish the leaked or fluid lost on refit.

Cheers.

Pipes are shafted Proz. Don`t under any circumstances attempt any distance driving
And the alloy pipes are a right pig to separate from the hoses

Ok thanks .... so if i throw the car into VX tomorrow any idea of how much i would be looking at ??
Would it just be the 2 pipes going into the block above the radiator down to the black pipes or is there more to it than that  :-/
