    Probably condensation from the air con.
    That is very unlikely by the back wheel. Aircon pipes are in the engine bay.

    OP said it was just behind passenger wheel, which I took to be the front nearside wheel.

    Aircon sounds like the most reasonable explanation for what im seeing, sadly i dont have aircon though! After leaving the car for a few hours leaked stopped. Will see if it starts up again when im driving today.

    I read the OP incorrectly. I thought it said rear but it seems I made that bit up.

    What ever it was could have all leaked out, you need to get the car checked before you drive it.

    :rotfl:

    Of all the possibilities mentioned how can air con be the most reasonable one on a car that doesn't even have air con haha

    And taste like?

    Two people liked this comment, but not sure if it was supposed to be funny or not, but the LAST thing I'd suggest, is tasting it!
    Definite no no!

    Was your crystal ball working then? Before taking the !!!!, maybe try reading the thread in which OP invited suggestions of what might be causing a problem about which they gave virtually no details; including that their car didn't have features that could, quite reasonably, have been the root cause of the issue about which OP was concerned.

    A Micra that runs on unleaded? Unless you guessed the VIN number, how could you know whether it had AC or not?
