Mysterious leak

[cxp381]

Hi,

Does anyone know what might cause an oil patch on my garage floor sourced from what looks to be dead centre on my clio? There are some from under the engine that I've noticed too. It's a 1.5 dci80 and on an 04 plate.

Any suggestions? It has a tuning box fitted at the moment but I'm removing it tomorrow in line for a remap.

Cheers!

Yea oil pipes at the back by the turbo leaking.

OK, what would cause this? Had a quick look under the car - could the rear leak be anyting to do with fuel/brake lines or is that silly?

is it engine oil, gear oil, PAS oil or brake fluid?

Well I don't think it's engine, gear or PAS because the patch in question would have dripped from the middle of the rear passenger seats (obviously under the car but that's where it is in relation to the car) so it coud be brake fluid from the lines that feed the rear drums?

so this is clear water> your air con drain is there and will drip out water.

It's certainly not as dark or oily looking as engine desposits but I don't have air con. It could just be something I've picked up off the road so I'll keep an eye on it - just wondered if it could be something obvious. Thanks for your help though
