Leak originating from the front/left side

[bourhay]

Greetings, everyone.


I trust that everything is good. Recently completed significant repairs on my 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class CK 180 Kompressor.

Initially seemed to be functioning OK after repairs; however, I have since seen a fluid or water stain at the inner side of the front left wheel. Initially suspected it was a leak from the windscreen washer reservoir. The system has been drained, but it continues to leak.
Curious about what it may be?

Are you able to ascertain the substance? Is it greasy, or does it evaporate independently?

Is the scuttle unobstructed?

[bourhay]

Thank you. It evaporates rapidly, similar to water, and is certainly not greasy.


Scuttle remains unverified; I will address it soon.

Place white tissue paper below and await the opportunity to 'capture' anything.

Air conditioning systems generate condensate (water) during operation, which is expelled via a pipe to the ground. Is this the case?

[bourhay]

Indeed, my daughter suffers from asthma; thus, I use the car's heater for around ten minutes prior to the school run in the early morning.
The standard air conditioning unit is erratic, so I use the adjacent button, the maximum setting. Image contained herein. Could this be the underlying cause?

[Workerat]

Potentially. Consider operating the vehicle with the air conditioning deactivated to see whether the issue persists.
