Exclamation HELP - Is my DCT leaking?

Recently had my remus race xpipe installed. Driven around 200 miles since
and haven't noticed any smell. But today, I can smell a really weird plasticky burning smell.

I thought it might be the exhaust but noticed something dripping. Aircon??




It was slightly damp when we installed the exhaust and it happens to be on the same side?



- Air con?
- DCT leaking?
- if so, should it smell or what's the colour of the fluid?



Thanks!

Iirc the aircon drain is on the O/S (drivers side) of the box, and it's essentially just water. I have saw one DCT box leaking from the plastic sump seal....best bet is to get under there and look.

Thanks for the reply. I have literally just taken the DCT pan off couple of weeks ago (ie. the pic I took and it looked a bit damp) but nothing was coming from the hose.

The liquid appears to be clear and have dried the next morning on the ground. So I presume in this case it was the AC only.

Always a worry though after reading all the horror threads on the forum.
