Default Little puddle

Hi team if you can imagine your disco is a Japanese car on a hot day, that’s where the leak is, like the aircon hose is making a mess
a small puddle passenger side at the front
I’ve only had it 3 days a 04 v8 126k, was cleaning it inside at the time and couldn’t smell a thing, it had had a service the day before, if anyone can give me ideas to check I’d appreciate it

Welcome to the forum.
It could be some or all 4 things... a bad door seal, the air conditioner condenser drains are blocked, leak from the windscreen or the sunroof drains are clogged.
Easy way to check and clean condenser drains... https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...40/#post527831

Wheelspin, are you saying the puddle is on the ground under the truck or in the front passenger seat footwell inside the truck?

I don't know what a "bash plate" is, but clear water on the pavement is perfectly normal. It's condensate from the air conditioning system. The A/C system works exactly the same in all cars, regardless of whether or not they are designed or built in Japan.

@Wheelspin Ok let's make this easier

In the image below is the leak :
  • at the forward most door seam
  • near the middle of the front tire
  • or further forward, the front edge of the tire or more forward

Sounds like a coolant leak dripping on to the factory plastic skid plate. And that he can't see the leak, or exactly where it's coming from, because it's dripping on the top of the skidplate, then running to the lowest point and dripping on to the ground.
I don't know of any D2 skidplate that would cover where the ac drips.
I wonder if there is coolant in the truck, or just water?

@Sixpack577 that was my thought too - so rad hoses, rad, or coolant return line

I can't work out from the OP's posts if he has ever described the qualities of the liquid that is leaking. Oily, greasy, soapy, viscous, odour...?
