Punto (Mk2/2b) Help? Leak

[Fiat1112]

Anyone got any idea what problem I've got here? I have no clue seems to be dripping water like nobody's business thanks guys

Where exactly is that join?
Is it in front of the back box?
It may be nothing more than the condensation in the exhaust leaking out a hole in the exhaust.
Back boxes can contain a few litres of water if the car has done a lot of short trips. Sometimes you'll see it spilling out of the car in front at they accelerate or go over speed bumps.

Hello mate thanks for the reply and it's the side towards the front of the car. It just happened pretty sudden and it's leaking quite a lot.

its either hole in exhaust or cracked fuel or brake line

Basically you've got the back box and it's the side of the back box that's towards the front of the car if that makes any sense

But it does make sense that it's a build up of water because the car hasn't moved and it's been doing very very short trips. It's basically been sitting there ticking over

Is it actually water or is it oil? Can you dab it your fingers on it and see? Fuel tends to evaporate so if it's gone in the morning it's could be that. Oil like brake fluid will still be there. I'm going with water in the exhaust that's found a way out

Prob a dumb question...have you got anything liquid stored in the boot that could be leaking? also is the spare wheel well dry inside ?
If if it aint from there then i would go with what the others said about water from the exhaust (assuming it is water)

Thanks for all the help guys spoke to a mechanic it's just the build up of water in the exhaust from sitting around haha and there's me worrying! Thanks again guys

dont some exhausts got little hole drilled in the back box to avoid this and to prevent it from rusting inside out?
