Water Leaking after A/C use???
Hi guys! The other day I noticed my Z started leaving water deposits on the right hand side of the front area of the car. This is while using the A/C. Is this normal? I know cars tend to leak some water when using the A/C but I want to be certain this is normal for Zs.
thanks in advance!
thanks in advance!
It's not "leaking water". That is condensation from the...wait...are you ready for this...? The condensor. That is the normal process of air-conditioning. Look at your home air-conditioner. There is a drain pipe on those also.

Actually, it's not from the condenser. It is from the evaporator. It drains down a tube in the evaporator case. But yes, it's normal.
The condenser is in front of the radiator and the refrigerant is a super heated vapor when it passes through the condenser, which cools it to a warm liquid state, hence the "condensation" happens inside, not outside.
