Aniy ideas whats wrong with my LCR??

[c6hut]

Typical just as I have bought my green filter and coilover kit, not even fitted yet I seem to have a problem. My Car is leaking water, from central area of engine. Hard to say much more without removing all the undertrays, and I think my car seems to be smoking a little more when I start it up. The smoke is white, and goes away after a while, but it does smoke everytime I start it up...any ideas, just hope its cheap, just when I was looking forward to getting my car looking better eh..arse!

Thanks

how do u know its leaking? Are u using more coolant? Any warning lights? Is the car over heating? Be careful not to mistake this for the water that is released under the car from the air con. Sometimes it looks like my car has pee'd al over my drive way. Also my last 2 lcr's have had white smoke from the exhaust, not much mind and it goes after a few minutes, more so in winter, probably due to the colder weather.
someone else on here may be able to give u more of a techinical answer, but this has been my experience, hope this helps

Well you helped me at least, I was worried last night after I pulled up after using the air con for a while to keep the windows demisted and could hear dripping water.

I'm no expert on the subject but if you think that its leaking then check all of your levels eg coolant, screenwash etc to see if any of them have dropped. if none of them have dropped then i wold be inclined to agree with smith that it is most likely from tha air con. they tend to leave a puddle after use
