C5 Water Leak

[Guest Darrin]

Hi got an 04 C5 2.2 HDI. its using or loosing about a pint of water every 100 miles or so. Does,nt seem down on power. On inspection underneath.(cant see a lot) There seems to be water dripping off a sphere just in front of exhaust? Any idea,s before I take it to dealer? Thanks

the water you see near the sphere could be the AC because it freezes the pipes and when you park up it thaws out, check the water pump area if it has high miles it might need renewing ( you will notice it leaking when the engine is off after a run because the pressure is let out through the pump housing ) you wont see it leak wile the engine is running becaue its in motion
