Yesterday at the Ring after driving my last lap of the day I noticed that I was leaking some fluid (someone else told me)... so I stopped the car and looked... couldn't find anything, it seemed as if it just stopped leaking.
I checked the level of the power steering fluid, the oil and the coolant. All were OK. It couldn't be any oil anyway I think because it was evaporating (?) quickly.
So that leaves water: coolant, washer fluid, A/C condensation.
Or fuel -- but I didn't smell any fuel!
What do you think: I ran the A/C 1 hour before. Is it possible for the A/C condensation that it "survives" 1 hour and THEN starts to drip?

I hope so... just think it's funny that it didn't start to drip while the car was sitting for over an hour...

Oddly, my mate's '95 TA has started to leak something. Initially, we thought it might be the LT1 rear rocker cover leak but this leak produces an oily haze on wet ground which a quick spray of detergent causes to vanish - suggesting it's something lighter than oil.
We couldn't find the source either - although looking at the car from 100 yards away sagely nodding our heads, we weren't trying that hard. LOL.

just keep making routine complete systems checks- I would not worry about it.
as long as you keep up on detailed maintenence, you should be ok.
you might also have to check at different times during use due to the metallurgical flexing caused by heat and hard driving.
