Engine oil leak is not usually a WOF fail unless it is extreme or leaking onto exhaust.

What colour was the water? Left hand side, would that be as far back as the passengers foot well. Did you have the air cond on? What is the vehicle,?

yes oil is leaking onto exhaust as i can smell it real bad inside the car while i'm driving and water was clear and yes i have been using air con allot as it is so hot this time of year. was leaking around about where the front wheels are that far back on engine left hand side

Water leak sounds like normal draining from air cond, nothing to worry about. Now what is the vehicle?

Not many do, and if you have to ask, you are in that class.

Ok lets go SLOOW What is the year /make/model of the car? Are you putting antifreeze into the radiator/coolant tank or running straight water ? If it has antifreeze in it-red or green then if the water leak is clear you know its not a coolant leak.
