Default Oil (or whatever it is) drip
Hi guys,
just realised my car has been dripping some liquid at the front that I have never seen before. The liquid is predominantly gray with a tint of dark green and it feels like paint. it is not a puddle, just a few drops here and there.
Any chance anyone knows what it could be?

Get him to do a pressure test on the cooling system in the morning, it's usually nothing serious but it could also be the beginning of a hose letting go so not worth the risk of blowing a motor if you're not too familiar around the car.
