2001 Rover 75 water stain under passenger side of engine

Car: Rover 75
Year: 2001
Variant: 2 litre, V6
Categories: Leaks & Noises
Whether I use the car or not, whether the climate control is switched on or not, there is a water leak behind the nearside front wheel but the engine does not appear to lose any water. I check the level every two days and it never drops. I have just had the cambelts and the water-pump replaced, and, apart from this sign of leakage, can find nothing wrong with the car.

Is it not just bulk head water drain which on most cars comes out at wheel arch ? Seen some cars with a drain at back of engine for air con , but dont know if this applies to your car .

as whitinghame pointed out,check the bulkhead drains are not blocked,they are located on the inner wing where the bonnet hinges are,simply unblock them as they normally get clogged with leaves and shit

Thanks for both your answers. This may well be the problem and I shall have a look.
