no worries, i'd take it back to the dealer and have them look at it. make sure you take your BOV and Boost controller off. Just to be on the safe side in case they are dick and want to void your warranty.

You should be fine with that on there, but you never know with some dealerships.

okay two quick things

boost gauge is no problem, if they give you a hard time, just tell them the MR comes with a boost gauge so they can kiss your ass.

The fluid, if its waters... chances are its from your A/C. did you leave your a/c button turned on after you switched off the car? if you did, then the fluid leaked is from the a/c. And water leaked isn't a problem.

:D

P.S which dealer are you gonna take your Evo too?

What fluid? Radiator/coolant? The reservoir can fill up a bit as coolant overflows into it. If it overflows the reservoir it'll just spill out onto the ground which is maybe what you saw?

The intercooler sprayer reservoir (if you have one--'03-'04 Evos) also just overflows onto the ground if overfilled; the manual says fill it with wiper fluid (so it doesn't freeze) but I just put in distilled water (I'm not driving the Evo anywhere that cold).

Also, if you just washed your car or it just rained, some water can pool up in places and just drip out after you have it parked.

i think its just overfilled water because that all i saw and smelled and all that good stuff
