Liquid leaking
 

I went for a 40 minute drive and had the AC on for maybe 20 seconds.

But I noticed this leak underneath my car under the passenger footwell. It doesn't seem to be oil, but I do know these cars have the "missing" engine coolant. Could this be it?

Anything else?

If it's just water, it could be AC condensation.

If it's coolant, it should be colored and have some smell to it.

From searching: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...php?p=1482517; pics look similar.

I'm hoping somebody can confirm it is ac condensation from the pics.

Stick your finger in it, it should be painfully obvious if its oil/coolant/water

Also, were you driving with defrost on? By default defrost turns the AC on to remove moisture from the air to aid in unfogging the windshield

Drainage tube is connected to trans/exhaust tunnel on passenger side of frame, right about at that location. Feel up there should be able to grab the rubber utter.

No front or rear defrost. But I did have the front air option to defrost/footwell. Unless its different with this car, that shouldn't turn on AC.

I didn't taste it, but there was no smell. I'm fairly sure it was water, but I want to double check.

I believe the blend setting defrost/footwell also uses the AC, I usually use this setting in winter to keep the windshield clear

It seems to be about right as the location of the AC drain. I think thats it.

Yeah, that setting does turn the A/C on. It's just water from condensation as others have said. That is perfectly normal.

Most likely it's water. Heck, have a taste .... that will tell you. No, no matter if it's stale water, coolant, gas or oil .... a taste ain't gonna hurt ya ....;)

That's what I like to tell girls but for some reason it never works in my favor.

Well, I don't know what ta tell ya now days ....... back in the day, we would mix ground up lemon peel with shaved ice and pack it into a tall glass and fill it with vodka and give it the girls telling them it was lemonade.

Worked good, but you had to move fast, to catch them just after they fell off the hay bale and before they threw up ..... http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...mages/woot.gif

@subiestyle ..... I'm pretty sure what's dripping out of your car ain't vodka .... :iono:

I'm not sure you're picking up what I'm putting down...

:slap: ..... bad boy!

The water is from the ac drain line that goes from the passenger side firewall onto the ground there.

It's condensation that's removed from your interior.

Whenever your car is on either defrost only or defrost/foot, your A/C will be on on any car you drive. So the dripping is 100% condensation, that's where mine drips when I have the ac on.

New drinking game!

Everybody take a shot when someone posts "That's normal."
