Title: Water leak, but can't find the source (pictures inside)
Post by: MoMartin on 31 March 2014, 16:48
Hi, I've just found a water leak in my car, but I have no idea where the source of it is, from the pictures I have taken I have worked out that it is
Coming from underneath the glove box; outside of the car, (so something to do with the heaters / aircon maybe?) but I can't pin point
Where the water is coming from.

Any ideas as to what it is?

Thanks, Mo

it could just be your aircon and if so its normal - put ur finger in the puddle and taste the water -if its sweet its coolant -if pure water its air con-also air con will stop dripping water after short period of time after u park up.

There was absolutely no smell to it, and it didn't really taste of anything either, is the aircon something I should be worried about? Or is it just condensation dripping off the air con?

Cheers, Mo

if it is aircon than yeh its jusr condensastion . i park mine on a very slight hill and water can dribble 10ft from car . check ur expansion tank level to see if its coolant ur loosin. but from the area u describe i wud say aircon.

Coolant level hasn't moved one bit, so it must be the condensation, that's good news though, I thought it might be something more serious.

Cheers, Mo

if it were coolant the thing too watch is ur water pump -which u shud change when u do the cambelt-never leave that to chance.
