Hello everyone,
I own a petrol 100hp ecoboost engine B-max with less than 2000km. Since yesterday I noticed that in certain cases, the car loses some liquid. I tried to smell the liquid, but I couldn't distinguish anything, it certainly is not not oil nor gas. I got no light on my board.
The 2 instances when I noticed this were :
1) I was leaving from my in laws, I had to back up and turn around in their yard.There was liquid where I had to switch from reverse to 1st gear. Before this, the engine was running for 5 minutes with the air conditioner on.
2)Exiting the parking of a supermarket I had to back off and then go to first gear, there was no liquid so I thought it was only a one case scenario. I stopped the car before leaving the parking lot so I can set up the destination on my mobile, as I went a bit forward I noticed a small liquid pool in the rear window
. I parked again, checked the liquid again, nothing, checked the hood, tried to feel with my hand everything under the car, I don't understand where it's coming from.
In a 3rd instance I had to leave my own parking space, I went forward, then in reverse, just to test if it happens again, then in 1st gear again, went a bit forward, nothing. I waited with the handbrake 2 more minutes, checked again under the car...no liquid.
I'm planning to go this week or next week to have a check up on my car, but I would like to know what to expect. Is this normal?
The air conditioner was on all of the time, I don't know if it matters.
Thanks,
Diez
