Evening all, found a wet patch on the road under my car the other day and today was the first opportunity I had to take a look. Photos attached for reference, also noticed the coolant was on the low side.

The little bit of Mayo on the cap is nothing to worry about. Its a sign of too much town running around. An oil change and a good highway drive will dry it out.

What is the liquid on your front sway bar? Water or oil?

Hi Murray, it's a funny one It does not look or feel to oily if that makes sense and seems more like watery oil mixture and I noticed that underneath there seemed to be like an oily spray on the underside but not too sure.

Looks like it could be power steering oil.

I will check that next thanks I am hoping to get it in the garage soon for a full health check and a few bits and pieces, new throttle cable, new lower air intake hose.
