Hi guys,

I had a quick look under my Panda at the water pump to ensure everything was looking good. Anyway, whilst under there, I noticed black oil staining on the oil sump which wiped off, but there did seem to be a lot of it!! I don't think it's leaking although it did seem strange.

But what did catch my eye is this yellow liquid that was on the water pump tensioner next to the cam belt. I wiped it off with a bit of kitchen towel and it appeared more like a grease, than an oil. But I'm wondering if they applied this yellow grease to the parts when fitting, or worse, if something is leaking?

Any help is appreciated.

Many thanks,
Matt
