New problem.

When i stop the car after driving more than 5 minutes (eg hot), i alway have the same phenomenon.

Drip, drip drip. Right beside the right catalityc converter (passenger side).

The curious thing: Ã

Could it be from the A/C? During the cooling process, water is removed from the air, which is then just dripping out of the A/C compressor (I recon - at least I read recommendations for race track runs to not run your A/C, otherwise the fluid dripping out might get you re-inspected ...)

Along with being ASE certified in Automatic transmission I am also ASE certified in Automotive Air Conditioning. First thing is first: are you sure that it isn't coolant? To test it, just put a little bit of it on your finger and put it on the tip of your tongue. Sounds nasty but it works. If it is sweet you have a coolant leak. If so check your heater core hoses to the fire wall. Also could be coming from the heater core inside the heater/A/C box. Now if there is no taste or a funky one then you have what Garry was trying to explain except that the water would be coming from the evaporator core. What that does is it pulls moisture from the air and is also the transfereing of cold air to the interior of the car. Some times the A/C system is working so good that it will develope ice on the core. When you shut down the car, the heat that the engine was making will help in melting the ice and it will drain through a drain tube on the bottom of the heater/A/C box which is routed under the passenger side of the car. Long story short. Your car A/C system is working properly and that drain tube is not clogged. There is nothing wrong with your car if the taste test passes. Garry is right about the track. I have seen quite a fex people get pulled off the track because of the water from the A/C system was draining on the track. Good rule of thumb. Try not to run your A/C system to the track, It will cause you some headaches until it is done draining.
Later dude

Geez Hotrod, we had been thinking of starting a family, but we'd rather adopt you instead! Do you know everything?!


Paula, but you can call me Mom

Like everyone said that is normal process coming from the evap core. I would be worried only if it was orange in color , that is if it is the stock coolant fill.

... weird only that it happens even if i don´t run the A/C.
Thought that compressor runs all the time?

Did not taste it, although it definitively did NOT smell like coolant.

Mine drips like a tap even when the a/c hasn't been working and it's pure water and comes from under the a/c ergo....don't worry about it.

No the compressor should not run all the time. Only when you are using the A/C or defroster. The A/C system will operate when you are trying to defrost your wind shield. It aid in removing the moisture.

PT- sorry. Although it would be nice to live off some one else again. Are you going to be coming up with the hubby this weekend? The wife would like to meet you.
