Leak under engine

Hi there

I have just had my TDV8 running for about 15mins in the same stop and noticed a fairly large puddle underneath.

When I turn the heater off the water stops dripping - but with the blower on it drips away from 2 places under the engine.

Is this normal? Or is it likely to be the start of a leak? The car temperature is fine and running normally.

Many advice would be great.

Many thanks

Yeh seconded. This is probably air con condensed water. Try it again without the aircon on and it shouldn't do it. Perfectly normal and the more moisture in the air/ the bigger the puddle! My Previous RR's!

Yes ^^^ air con drain. Very Happy

Try it without the ac on and it should stop. Totally normal all cars with ac will leave a little puddle. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
