Samueltastic Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Just got back in from work (aprox 3 mile trip) and noticed a small amount of dripping by the front passenger wheel. Am I right in thinking its the aircon drain or is it something else? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samueltastic Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Air con Juice...... That's what my dad recons it is. Its clear and cold and the engine was fairly warm so he didn't think it was coolant or anything. Guess il just keep an eye on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBoy Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I can't think of any fluids in the car that have both the consistency and colour of water. Everything is thick or oily except for the coolant, and that's bright green. So basically if it looks like water and feels like water, then it's probably water and you're alright.

Guess il just keep an eye on it Didyou have your AC on? move the car forward and turn the engine on, there is a wee condensate pipe that allows water to be drained from the matrix. You can see it dripping whith the bonnet open. Does it smell, or just like water? No need to keep an eye on it, the atmosphere is saturated atm, so expect this to happen in these weather conditions, its the AC doiongits job correctly.

Ebized Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 If it is by the n/s front wheel I might also be inclined to check the (2nd) windscreen/headlamp washer bottle for leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Most likely aircon, mine was doing it last year, did it whilst at RT Performance Tara's had a look confirmed its air con Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
