Should water be collecting here?!

[The Fatty]

as title and shown in the image below. Its collects on driver side more than the passenger side...

Yep, pretty common.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Yes,took years of design to get that.

It's nice when you're on a long trip and fancy a break, just pull up the bonnet and splash your face for a bit of refreshment

 

[The Fatty]

lol. Surely it will cause it to rust!?!

 

[Silent_Scone]

It's French what part of rust don't you understand

Its covered in paint and sealer.

Its no different than you parking it outside in the rain. Has your roof rusted??

 

[The Fatty]

Your point is well made! Thanks.

 

[105e]

actually roofs rarely rust as the water runs of, rust generally starts where water collects

 

[The Fatty]

This is also true, and why I was worried...

It's the car's way of telling you to get those turrets cleaned

My Cup use to do that, strangely the Ph-1 doesn't.

 

[The Fatty]

lol, they are clean now that picture was taken when I first got the car

 

[bmh.01]

None of my 3 ever did that.

I think you need to sort some form of irrigation out there. Maybe pipe it off to the brakes for extra cooling?

 

[The Fatty]

ok, so they do or they dont?! We seem to have a mix of opinions, anyone know the definitive answer?

 

[st3ve]

Probably just due to heavy rain.

If you're that bothered soak it up with a rag and clean it out, then monitor it. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Never seen that before, but my Ph1 doesnt do it either.

 

[Andyman]

I keep goldfish in mine

Judging by your posts i think you border ocd

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

My 182 never had this.. im pretty sure that red line aint healthy either!! but if that worries you i suggest you dont look under the inlet plenum at all the oil mysteriously gathering that should be inside your engine
