Drip/Leak under car

[Gordy]

Taking the Taycan 4S out today I noticed a small puddle under the car when I returned after the car was parked up.

When I got home I could see a few drips from the underside of the car in around the middle between front and rear doors - picture attached - highlighted in red, you can see a very small stain on my driveway underneath probably a few tablespoons worth. When I got home and in the drive the drip was small but never the less can't say I've noticed it before, it doesn't look like AC condensation which I would expect at the front of the car - didn't notice any colour in the drip but there wasn't a lot to see.

Anyone got any idea what this may be? it's obviously something I'll keep an eye on the next few days and see if it continues or get's worse to book into the dealership.

It might be headlight fluid. That’s clear too.

I have zero useful information for you unfortunately.

it could be condensation from the AC

Is the fluid viscous? does it evaporate? leave any stain?

nope - not viscous, does seem to evaporate and doesn't leave a stain from what I could tell today.

I'll know more the next few days to keep an eye out for it and be able to tell more.

Did you spill your sprite?

Were you at a distillery? Is it Scotch? I bet it's Scotch. Dang it, now I want some Scotch. ?

That's the most intelligent drip-theory yet. Now I also want some Scotch! My theory was that it is acid dripping from the 18 year old golf cart batteries that Porsche substituted for his lithium ion battery due to supply chain issues. But I like the Scotch theory much better.

@Gordy I'm sure you've already checked the radiator so what about the window washer, does it happen after you have been using the window washer? Could some of the fluid find its way down to lowest centre point?

Normal in my case and think it's AC related.

It's water from the A/C if it doesn't leave stains.
