My tC is almost 25K miles and it just started leaking water under the engine bay... a search on Google says it's most likely from the condenser on the A/C, but it doesn't say if it's normal or how serious it is or if anything can be done...

but yeah, with 25K miles, is this something that i can get fixed for free, anyone know?

 

you sure it's a leak and not just your AC running? all ac drip water.. even the one that cools your home.

 

oh, okay.... it's just that after two years this is the first time i noticed this

also, i have no idea if this is a seperate of related issue, but anywho, my ventilation makes noise when the fan is on, like a rapid clicking, and the volume of the clicking is the same at all speeds, so that means i can barely hear it at full speed 'cause of the air, but it is definitely still there

 

yeah, is the a/c running before your during you noticing this drip? If so then its more than likely the ac condensor condensation dripping down. If its right at the front of the car or seems to be near the motor then it could be a loose/leaking hose, or damaged part. If its back by the wheel areas then that is the a/c more than likely. Your covered under a 3 yr/36k warranty so if your sure its not the ac then you can def. take it in and have them look at it. Depending on the issue it may or may not be underwarranty. Such as a leaking hose would not since its a part that experiences normal wear and tear with usage.

 

Does it leak when the a/c isn't turned on?

 

thanks everyone so far and budsmoke, i'm about to check that very soon, albeit it will be a very discomforting test in this california weather, lol

 

so no ideas tho, for the air circulation noise?

 

Pink leak is radiator..........or hose.......

Water by firewall is condensor........it makes water as a byproduct of evaporation of heat of the condensor.........the r22 heats up and compresses at the compressor......it then goes through the head of the compressor and travels to the condensor........as it falls it loses heat in the form of moisture..........then as it heads through the condensors the gas shrinks to fall away the heat.......and makes dripping water on ground.......

Water at exhaust tip is chemical reaction of the exhaust cat making hydrogen and oxegen combine by passing it through a metal screen or filter .........

 

Do you have a sound/vid clip of that clicking noise? That would helps us to help you

 

Drink the fluid that is dripping and problem solved... .… if in fact it is H2O.

Why do people gripe so much over weather that is close to their own body temp? If they kept their body’s a/c charged, then the weather wouldn’t be so unbearable.

 

^ WOW, what have you been smoking buddy, besides buds Just messin!

 

Nothing besides tobacco for about 3 months... I was previously taking a medication that sufficiently suppressed my anxiety.

By the way... what’s in your “drug box” (a.k.a. medicine cabinet)?
