What is leaking? Under driver Side (eu Model). The color is Red but I think it is not cooler. I Do not smell anything about this Red liquid.

Gears go on Normal, but now car is parked while repair. I thank anyone Who could tell what should be cause.

Oh, I deleted my answer.

I have only petrol and coolant is only Red in my car. There is nothing leak in engine side when I looked over engine.

This area in pic is near driver door. Only gearbox oil came to my mind but if it leaks, should it be in this area?? In my mind is more water than oil. There is three seal and this first is little bit worse.

Ok. No warning light and steering wheel is Ok too. I have not notice any unusual while drive.
 
Does it have a steering fluid reservoir in the engine bay..?
often a YELLOW sticker with a steering wheel on
No, but have to be sure and check again. Only washer, coolant and Brake liquid if remember right. If this steering is in engine bay, it should be visible I guess?

As I said.. steering is probably electric

Have you got any unususl heating..or cooling fitted?

No, thermometer is between low and high. Just added few Times coolant because min Level. I think too it is electric but not sure
 
Nothing should be coming out of there. Most likely culprit is coolant from a heater hose under the bonnet running down the bulkhead and getting in the chassis box section. If the car is right it should not use any coolant at all. Second possibility is air con drain doing something similar.
 
So there is not going any pipes or so? If it is coolant liquid, how is possible that it is there, is it?

Leak should be under engine of caause is water pump or so?

Can you please tahe a photo from thd side of the car
With a marker showing how far along the car the drip is

The 1st pic looked like centre of floor

But you say drivers seat

Trying to figure this out.. :)
 
There is some. There is Front of car in pic. Driver place direct up this marked area. In circle area seems to be under engine mount too.

Seal looks different that others. Should this stored water inside and rust water seems in pic? This is hudge mystery.but if its water, why area looks so dirrerent (lines) second pic? Air condition water goes out from passenger side if I remember right.
