I think my window washer bottle is leaking, the bit between the fuse box and the back of the window washer bottle has water in it.
Also can trace the trip to the ground, dripps of onto two other small pipes and then Hits the control arm bracket before the gound.
Can only think of it been the bottle or pipe to the bottle.

Anyone had this?
How do you remove the inner fender gaurd?, think if this is removed i might get a better look.
How do you remove the window washer bottle.

I have filled it up and am keeping an eye on the level, the liquid that is dripping just tastes like metally dirt

dude that whole tray is one piece, it could come from any where.. it could be battery electrolyte.. that would have a tang to it if eaten.. however id not try that ..

Are u sure that the reservoir bottle is not overfilled. If so, it will flow out via the overflow spill chute which is on the top of the bottle below the main radiator hose and will drip exactly where u describe. YThe preservatives in the coolant plus flow through the engine block will make it taste metallic. Is the drip fluid the same colour as your coolant. Cheers

It can't be the water pump because it is on the opposite side.

Not the same colour, its a clear liquid.
The coolant reservior has not overflowed, its a red/orange liquid.

Put new pics so people can get a better idea.

do you use plain water in your bottle or do you use a cleaning additive? Try tasting the water in the res. and see if its the same.

I might put some lime cooler in mine incase it ever happens to me
