Water leak on car after using air con... question?

[Alex1975]

Hi all,

I have a Toyota Yaris and last night coming back from the club I was in a bit of a rash and had the air con on full blast for about 20 mins. When I got out of the car there was a rather constant drip of water coming from the very back of the engine bay/firewall. I know little about cars but I would guess that it was air con related as the car has not asked me for water today and I dont use the air con very often.

The dripping stopped after a while and has not started again today.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks

Al

It's perfectly normal, nothing to worry about if the water is clear and tasteless

It's just condensation.

It looked clear and I did not taste it . So what is it then?

 

[Doc]

It's just the moisture out of the cars atmosphere condensing into water and escaping through a purpose built drain.

All part of normal A/C operation, the problem comes when the drains inside the car fill up with smelly bacteria and algae and you get the inside of the car flooding and stinking.
