182 Yellow fluid leak???

[JasonA]

I have just found a leak on the driveway and its a yellow fluid coming from a canister/resevoir on the passenger side front of the engine. I dont know what it is as its very clean and not a colour i have seen before. Ive put up some photos to see if anyone recognises what it is.

Looking up at the underside of the engine.

Looking down on the problem.

Hope its not serious enough to prevent me from driving but i would appreciate it if anyone could enlighten me as to what it is.

Cheers, jason

air conditioning leak. the yellow/green stuff is a dye added to the system to help find leaks

182 Cup's have A/C..?

Ah, ok, i wondered if it was that. I kinda ruled it out as the air con pump was at the other side of the engine bay. So is that just a reservoir of some sort?
