Fluid loss front offside corner

[sarg]

Chaps, I'm losing some kind of fluid from the front offside corner.

I imagine this is washer fluid, are there any existing threads / how-tos on to access, diagnose and repair please?

(I did do a search but could not find what I was looking for)

There were a few comments in this thread that may give you a heads up:

Its 2 grommets that you have to replace, forum sponsors sell them. its also a good opportunity take the washer fluid tank out and wash out any junk out of it with a kracher etc.

thank you both

Any theories why it should start leaking while sat in my garage?

Good news: it's not leaking washer fluid

Bad news: it's coolant

Discussions with our resident Doctor suggest it is probably the oil cooler pipe. I've not had chance to get on the ramps and have a look, so have just ordered the parts (they'll come in useful one day if not now!) and booked in with a local mechanic over the next couple of weeks, hopefully fixed and sorted in time for the annual meet.

My simple brain still cannot understand why it should start leaking being tucked up in a warm(ish) dry garage

I recall comments that often it's as likely the grommets/washers around the pipe as the (definitely fragile) plastic pipe itself.
Mine had been leaking for ages (years!) before MJ replaced it during its overhaul, though I don't recall how damaged it was.
