Hi all it's me again.

As above, what is the schrader underneath the left intake (when looking into the engine bay) on my C32, when I take the clipon cover off? A/C in on the RHS, and under the cover on the left of the condensor. I know where the gearbox is, so what is that externally threaded schraeder?

We've just returned from a 200 mile trip from Cornwall, got out of the car to find it stinking of diesel. Had a quick look underneath and in the middle, directly under the engine, an oily clearish substance is dripping quite consistently.

Here's what happens:
Start up - go to the supermarket - stop - return to car 15-20 mins later - start up - metallic clattering from underneath - move off - clattering ends.
This does not happen when starting from cold - only when the engine is warm. If I get out of the car to have a look...
So i've been noticing it for while and with a few other cars i've owned.. Mostly the Mercedes.. The car only makes this ticking noise when its running and idleing (not moving) or when the cars just been turned off after a run (small or long it still makes the noise).
So now to try and explain...

Is it possible and if so...
Hey,

but what is the big piece of metal underneath your
engine bay called?
My car did not come with this..

Problem I have is when I pull away from start up i leave a trail of what seems to be water, but it leaves marks on my drive and does not dry out.

Who's heard of an acoustic shield that lines the entire (or most of) the underside of the car?
Bodyshop reckon that the rust on my floorpan is 'actually' on my acoustic shield and formed by moisture and actually just wipes off, so just needs a valet underneath the car.
