Newbie question

Can anyone tell me what a clear and odorless fluid that I found in a small puddle under my new 996 (about 10-12 inches to the inside of the left rear wheel) could be???

sounds like water from the AC to me, but I'm not familiar with 996's at all.

Try the 996 BBS. We live in the past here.

It's water from the A/C if it's warm outside. If it's cold, it could be coolant overflow.

Sorry guys,
This BB is mucho more active than the 996 BB. More like my BMW moto BB where there is always someone online. Hopefully just water. Thanks

911 and water? That does not compute!

Tears, your car is in misery, because its blood is H2O instead of oil. (nice stable of bikes though)

Thtown _Hammer:

I like your comment "we live in the past"

It is so true and I'm proud of it.

No activity on the 996 BB, Hum I guess they don't brake down or that's what the mechanic is for!

I believe it is the answer to a question that no one asked.
