Ive had a UPVC front door for about 7-8 years. It's great, apart from when it rains (most days) a small dribble of brownish 'stuff' seems to come out of the bottom moulding. I have over the years blamed the cat and cleaned it off, repeatedly - but it isn't the cats and doesn't whiff. Sorry cats. The door seems fine in every other respect - has anyone any idea what this is and why a UPVC door might weep tears of gravy?

Sounds to me there are some rusty fittings inside the door.

If that is the case - then buddy well done, Ultraframe. I'll list it with the broken windowsill and the unfinished pebbledash.
when you open the door is there little holes/openings in the frame? if there is thet could be blocked with dirt I had a similar thing a few weeks ago and those opening were just block. i cleared them out with a cocktail stick and now it is fine. Apparently these are drain holes which drain the water to outside

Thanks folks - any hope via the installers is useless as they are useless. As I mentioned above, it took all my energy to get them to finish off the damage to my exterior walls, and they never fixed the broken window sill.
That's Ultraframe folks - avoid like a dose of plague.
