Help - yellow liquid from middle bracket of exhaust?

Looks like it is time to start taking the radiator cowling off and have a serious look at the cooling system. You have a leak to find.

 Hi. Update is that tonight I found the same liquid directly underneath the radiator- not much, but a drop all the same (see photos). I have taken one photo from the top of the engine bay and you can make out the green liquid on the floor just beyond the radiator . What does this mean? Question is how a leaking radiator is leaving coolant in the exhaust..? I’m not sure that is good news at all? Any advice appreciated!

You have several pages of advice already.  

I wish I could convey to you how not mysterious this problem is.  A competent technician could spot the failure point in less time than it takes to make tea.

My advice is: stop asking for tips and then quibbling with people who respond.  The fellows who have posted above are experienced, and they know far more about cars than you do.  They have told you:

1) The "liquid" is coolant. 
2) You have a coolant leak.  
3) It needs to be repaired by a professional. There is no chance at all that anything we tell you will enable you personally to fix it at home.

You want to save money.  We get that -- here in Jimny land, we are all about DIY.   But you have hit your skill limit, and it's time to bite the bullet.  The old rule is, pay for a pre-purchase inspection, or pay for the repairs after you buy.  So, here we are.

Alternatively, you can keep posting photos of your garage floor.  Someone here will always respond, because we are nice people.  But it won't fix your Jimny.

Hi apologies if I have upset anyone here. I’m not technically minded and simply wanted to point somebody who is in the know in the right direction. I’ve already taken it to two garages and the first said it was an air con leak and the second had no idea! Hence the questions and the follow up yesterday. I am not expecting any further replies and I do thank you for your help. It’s not about saving money; it was just a question if anyone had experienced a similar issue before.

Hi, I don't think you have upset anyone on here. Pictures really do help with questions and problems. But it is hard online to diagnose something remotely. If one of the members that has given advice were there in the flesh, they might see where the problem is in no time.

I would choose you next garage carefully and try and get some personal recommedations, sound like you have been unlucky with the first two. Where are you based? someone on here might know a good garage near to you.

Please don't let this put you off the forum or asking questions in the future.

Let me just repeat my key point, with the important word in bold:

I wish I could convey to you how not mysterious this problem is. A competent technician could spot the failure point in less time than it takes to make tea.

There is a pernicious myth that cars are prone to complex, inscrutable failures that are difficult to fix.  In fact, cars are dead simple.  The problem lies on the human end of things.  A bad tech will never admit he's a bad tech, but his failures will tell you.

As Soeley says, your task is to find a good mechanic.  And that is where your task ends, because a good mechanic will not need any suggestions.  He'll have it correctly diagnosed within moments of popping the bonnet, without any hints or tips.  And then you can get on with enjoying your new Jimny.
 

Agreed! Third attempt Monday. Kind regards
