Leaking Water ???
Hi all,
Hopefully I have enough info for you guys to help, but I noticed every time I drive my car harder than usual, I would notice it dripping water(?) from under the passenger side of the car. My coolant levels are fine and doesn't seem to be going down so I'm assuming it's not coolant. Definitely not oil. When I drive normally w/ little to no boost I noticed there is no leak after. Any ideas ? |

The ac drains water on the passenger side right by the turbo. Thats my guess.

Hmmmm, I can't recall. I'll give it a try tomorrow and blast the AC to see if it starts leaking.
Thanks! |

The obvious answer is to get under the car and find out where the water is coming from. Pretty straight forward solution as we can not see your car from the interwebz.......

If it is cold, maybe you had it in defrost not with the A/C Specifically on?

AC makes water condense just like a cold can of soda. The car had a black run off line that drips this water out of the firewall just below the turbo.

Um, I guess it shouldn't but their is a water drain line for your winshield area too. A car wash, spraying your windows, rain etc. would also drain here.
