Broken something by hitting a grass bank. Help?

Postby AllAboardTheWolfBus » Mon Jul 10, 2017 10:17 pm

Travelling down a narrow road I pulled over to the side to let a car past. I went too far and too fast and whacked the bottom of my Tourneo into the grass. Passenger side swing arm (? The flat metal arm that goes from the bottom of the engine to the wheel) took the worst of it.

It's now leaking a colourless odourless liquid. I asked my mechanic friend to look at it and he couldn't see anything wrong. He thought it may be the A.C. system dumping water from the condenser due to the heat, but I've never seen it leak this much water (or indeed any fluids at all).

I've taken a couple of videos of where the leak appears to be coming from. If it helps you visualise I'm under the car, poking my phone up dead centre facing the engine side of the firewall. I can't see from the engine bay because the engine is in the way.

Anyone got any idea what it could be?

I haven't tasted it myself, Danny (mechanic) however did and confirmed it was water.
