Lude Generation

for rusty water to be dropping from. I run the Lude up every week even if I don't use it( I fire it up and let it tick over for 5 or 10 mins). I have started to notice a very small amount of rust coloured water has dripped out at the front of the car just to the nearside of the engine onto the tarmac.
I can't see any leaks with the bonnet up and in feeling along underneath the car I can't find any damp patches either.The water drop is minor as it does not appear to have lost any coolant but what do you reckon rad on the way out or a hose problem. That cover stops me seeing the bottom of the engine so I don't know whether to worry about it or not. Any ideas folks?

I notice rust water from the pulley on the powersteeing from friction and condensation but very small and goes away once driven but returns when Sat for a few weeks.

Power steering cooler?

When mine did that it was the water pump leaking.

Well thats cheered me up on my way to bed!

Is it at the feotnt of thw car? Mine was pretty much on the inside of the wheel

I'll bet its power steering fluid out of the cooler just in front of the rad. Really common, most are falling to pieces nowadays.

And yes Phil, forever the optimist!

A better diagnosis of where it's dripped from might help pinpoint better Paul.
