LHM leak. Not serious but annoying as it is leaving a gradually expanding patch of LHM where I park. The LHM level hasn't gone down appreciably, and it is a drip that happens once the car is stopped and not running. Left for a few hours there will be a 'stain' of the fluid - sometimes a 5p - sized one, sometimes a bit bigger. Overnight it will have expanded to about 2-3 inches across. It is coming off the front. I see a drip hanging from the accumulator sphere and the air con pipes are getting the benefit of an LHM soaking (can't be good).
The only evidence I can find is a rather wet-looking FDV. Do these leak regularly, and is it something I should learn to live with? Or is it something I can get looked at/look at myself - I'm thinking where the pipes come into the block, maybe there's some weeping from one or more of the unions.
Any experiences and tips?
