Unreal past

"Before I left, I would ask you to take a look at this."
We use the above sentence to talk about a present or future situation. The above sentence probably means "Before I leave, I will ask you to take a look at this." Is this use of unreal past without a conditional and with only an adverbial grammatical ?

Hi, It's a grammatically coorrect sentence, but of course you need a context in which it would make sense to say it. Clive
