Liquid leaks onto ground (front right)

[joecool]

I dont know what this liquid or water is or where its coming from. This happens every time i come home. I took these pics about an hour after I came home when I was leaving.

Could be just water off the a/c condenser. Try driving home with just the vent on and see if it goes away.

did you move the car up a little bit? im guessing so. its more than likely from the ac condenser from running your ac. nothing to worrry about.

[joecool]

no I didn't move it
I parked there, went in for an hour and came back out. Just walked back to check, its somewhere near the catlytic converter, I'll drive around later with the air off to check.

It's more than likely just water like those guys said. I dare you to lick it....


Seriously though, stick your finger in it/smell it to see what kind of fluid it is.

[joecool]

it evaporates over time so i think its not oil or coolant. it's probably water, but why would there be water there?

[vanbibber]

dunnno just try driving around with out the ac and check again. then we can go from there.

[joecool]

i drove around without the a/c and theres no water. It must be condensation, but how does it get so far back is the real question.

[terminaldegree]

it blows back there when you're driving and from the fans turning on, and trickling along the outside of pipes, etc.

I wouldn't worry about it at all.

I wouldn't think that much water would be able to "blow back" there then drip down. The spot his pics show is mid-way back under the passenger door.
Unless maybe his driveway is slopped and the angle allows the condensed water to drain along bottom of car.
To know for sure just slide under there and look around next time you park it.

[joecool]

My driveway is sloped, but dam, that is a lot of condensation.

[BLLDOGG]

you would be suprised how much water is released from the AC system during a hot day.

i did the same thing today. freaked out.

just my ac, i never run it
