ive got a leak

[a4quat]

i seem to have got a leek started somehow its seems to be right at the front centre of the car, or thats where it gathers, its defo not oil cos it dissappears after my car has moved, and it tastes sweet, is it more likely a leek from the radiator as there is nothing to see under the bonnet?

Is it the left or right side of the car? Mine was leaking power steering fluid on the drivers side at the front.

It could be nothing to worry about. Had your air-con been running when you noticed it? Condensation drips onto the floor and can create quite a puddle.

its not air con cos ive not had it on, it is more to the right from centre, does power steering fluid taste sweet, and would it evaporate?

That's water from the engine or radiator that is leaking. Antifreeze tastes sweet - but don't drink too much of it!

water level is slightly low, i topped the water up to max last week and now its in between min and max, by the way its a 1.8t sport quattro engine.
