Normal or Not? 2012 GLK 350

Hello!

How are you?

I am new to the forum and I just pickup up a CPO GLK 2012 about a month ago. This is my very first car.

I noticed there is some fluid underneath my parking spot. Is this normal to have some fluid underneath the vehicle after driving?

Thank you,
C

Possibly, what does the fluid look and smell like. Anything other than water (Condensate fron the air conditioner) should not be there if it is not condensate, take it in and get it taken care of....

It's most likely just water.

I have the same model, and just returned from the dealership today for a similar problem. The fluid turned out to be windshield wiper fluid...the container was cracked. It was replaced and covered under warranty.

Same model and issue. The windshield washer bottle was also replaced under warranty.
