Spotted a water leak under the drivers side wheel arch. Vehicle hasn't been used for a week and its been dry all day. As far as I can tell its running down behind the Near side \ Drivers side front wheel arch rear cover. The liquid is completely clear and odourless. Any ideas?

if its not from the water bottle or from the engine or even from the air-conditioning then all that is left is the run off gully blocked . Have you lifted the bonnet and cleared the drain channels which clear the water from the engine bulkhead area and the sides around to the plastic flaps traps over the wings. which stop leaves/twigs etc yet let water run off? Ex 2010 Freelander2 GS-e Diesel manual Silver owner

Yes lifted the bonnet and searched around, can't see any water anywhere. Those side flaps that block up with leaves had a few leaves in them but they were crispy dry.

I can also confirm the water doesn't taste of anything either.

With the few minutes of light left I tried to get that pictured plastic nut off to peer behind the arch cover but the nut just spun so I didn't get a chance.

As of 10pm its still dripping so its been going for about 3 hours now. 
Hung like Einstein, smart as a horse.

Just a thought, lift the bonnet and unclip the battery cover, use a torch and look down the hole. Is the plenum chamber showing any level of water?

There is a plastic vertical bulkhead 'wall' left to right across the back of the engine which joins up at its top with the horizontal shaped tray left / right that comes forward from the windscreen..

there must be another drain outlet to get rid of rainwater.

Hope this might inspire further investigation.

Good call, that was it.

The plastic gutter below the windscreen has 6 small drain holes, which block really easily and become invisible, I didn't even know they were there until a recent thread highlighted them. Ironically unblocking these probably led to this problem.

It's always nice when someone with a problem asks for help then when it's solved posts the resolution, thanks some just ask the question then vanish leaving us wondering if the problem was ever fixed. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.
