Hi guys,

I was parking by the roadside this evening and was just casually walking around my car when I noticed a small puddle of water forming on the floor. As the road was slightly sloping to one side, I realised the puddle was actually forming from underneath my car. I took a look underneath and discovered there was water dripping from underneath one of the pipes.

I took some photos and wondered if anyone here knows if I should be concerned with this leak. The pipe that I noticed was leaking is circled in red. The blue rectangle is where i took the close up shot from. This is from a R34 GT-T btw.

It seems this happened only when the engine was running, because I have left my car parked for about 2 hours now and it seems there is no more dripping of water the last i checked.

Was just wondering if I should bring it down to a workshop tomorrow to get it checked.

The water is cool when the engine was running, I've used a tissue to soak it up to make sure its water and not coolant.

I was thinking it might be the air con condensation too as but just wanted to make sure its not something else..

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
