Fluid leak in engine bay when aircon is on

[ayeyew]

It seems like I may have a water leak in the engine bay

Just wondering what it may be?

Certainly looks like water and doesnt smell like anything

Its leaking from the passenger side, pretty close to the firewall, maybe even out from one of the holes in the firewall?

Doesnt seem to start leaking until i turn the aircon on

It feels like the aircon is still operating well, doesnt feel like the air is any colder/warmer than it usually is

Any suggestions? ( Except turning off aircon! )

Cheers guys

aircon running creates condensation
if its leaking on the floor its working perfectly
if its leaking inside the car its got a blockage

yep, as above, just the aircon drain. i'd be worried if you didn't see any water

So its normal for there to be a pretty decent sized puddle after 5 seconds or so of the aircon running?

I must say that i have never noticed it before!

its all relative to the humidity on the day
the other day deb turned her car on with the A/C on and it was a huge puddle pretty quick

but on other days it rarly even drops as its just low humidity

Scares the crap out of me sometimes, either when turning sharply, and you get the icy cold water on your feet, or when you pull up and hop out, and fluids running from underneath the car, lol.

Thank God that is normal

I was getting worried!
