Hey all,
Picked up my new Roc today.. had an awesome day driving round the Cotswolds. Loving the car!!
However, slight problem. I've just noticed a damp patch on the drive underneath where the car was parked. I then moved it down the drive and parked it for a few mins and have just checked and there is another damp patch!!
The liquid smells very much like screen wash so im guessing thats all it is and its nothing serious. Just wanted to check if anyone else has had this issue with their new Roc?

Condensation from the aircondition dripping?

Thanks for the info BigDawg! Good to know its a non-issue!
Still loving the car... keep thinking of "reasons" to go out for something so I can take another ride!

Really? That's never happened once in the 3 years I've had my Golf?

My first thought was condensation from the aircon heatsink too. It might be worth just keeping an eye on the fluids though for a couple of weeks to see if anything is on the way down when it shouldn't.
