Bit of an odd one, :confused: normally I park on my drive but for the last 3 nights I have had to park one the road, it’s on a sloop, first day I came out there was a damp patch just between the front wheel and driver’s door, thought nothing of it as have never seen a leak before and it may have been there when I parked up. That night parked, checked no leaks and nothing on the road. Next morning same damp patch, checked it and it does not seem to be oil or anything, just looks like oily water. Check the levels on everything (on the flat) nothing down and can’t see a leak from under the car at all. Last night parked and this time put a bit of card down, and you guessed damp patch this morning, looks like power steering fluid that’s been watered down. Can’t work out where it’s from and can’t find any leaks, anyone have a clue??? :confused:

Maybe your RR was being a wimp and ****ed it self because it was scared sleeping in the street, damn whores :D:D
 
There is a sunroof drain point in the front wing between the wheel and the drivers door...couldn't imagine it holding that much water, but maybe worth checking.
 
Between the front door and front wheel is where water would come out from the drainage from the windscreen area. So it could be that if you have been using windscreen washer, it would hold a bit of water at the bottom of the screen (check at each side where the drain hole is and see if its blocked with leaves or anything), and when parked it has run down and out.

I have noticed mine making a puddle in the same place when I have washed my car, then moved it to where it is parked and an residual water has run out from that point.
 
Is it the O ring leaking from the heater matrix and look under drivers carpet for damp patches and check fluid level in radiator as it could be red anti freeze you see there

Brake fluid?
(if P38) Any leak from brake master runs down and off the chassis/wheel arch plastic and drips from between wheel and drivers door.
