Any ideas what might cause the following ?

My woman owns a Peugeot 208. Out of sheer chance she spotted that it was dropping water under the car yesterday as it was stopped next to the pump at the filling station; and this has been confirmed at a second check today after she took it for a drive and thought to look.

And yet neither the engine cooling water tank nor the windscreen washer water tank seems noticeably down.

Bit worrying though. Any thoughts on what it might be and what needs to be done ?

She has apparently been told sometime in the past that air conditioning can result in water dripping. Unsure if that is so or not.

Probably condensation from the aircon - happens all the time, even in coolish weather.
Yes, air conditioning causes water drips. Sent me into panic first time we had a car with it and I saw the wet patch under the car in the car park.
Water can drip from many places in a car OG . It is easy to see where it is finishing up but the difficulty is tracing the source.
Air conditioning condensation very likely.

Cheers all.

Now I just need to explain why the water temperature used to plateau at 70 apparently but now gets to 90. I'm going to raise the levels to max tomorrow and ask that she keep an eye on the situation.
O.G, Just a tip from past experience, keep checking your coolant level on these cars, they can do a head Gasket for the least bit of a thing.

Cheers.

I've topped them up to max now, and a decision has been made to get it services ASAP, even thought it is a couple of months before it is really due.
