As i went into my Z today, i noticed that there is some water on the passenger side floor mat. I looked up and found out the place that the water came from. The thing is that when i turn on the A/C or heater, the water drops start and stop when i turn off the A/C ir heater, it is also worth mentioning that it is rainy outside..there r a couple of pics. any help would be really appreciated...sry for the bad quality...

Unusual but possible:

a. Keep an eye on the coolant level. You may have a leak.

b. There are some unique situations where you may get condensation (water droplets) from vents and other areas. You may be able to avoid this by running the air conditioning AND heater. Or cracking a window.

Is it only leaking when you turn the ac or heater on? Or is it also leaking when you wash the car or in a heavy rain? the condensor should have a drain tube that may have gotten clogged

I have this problem too but in the driver side. Its dripping towards the clutch area. And it does it with the ac off and no rain. I also have a leak in the hatch area but only after rain. It sucks cuz my windows fog up easy

If it is only leaking with the AC on most likely your evaporator drain is clogged. Condensation in the evaporator case is normal, and there is a drain the is supposed to empty it under the car. If it is clogged you will get a problem exactly like you are describing.

do u know where the drain could be found?

I'm not that familiar with the Z. I'll see if I can find it in the FSM when I get home.

more than likely it is your heater core. coolant flows through it reguardless if you have the ac on/off, heater on/off. to find out you can disconnect the two hoses going to your heater core and plug the hoses off. the two hoses can be located on your fire wall. if your leaking stops, then you know this is the problem.

A leak from the engine cooling system would have the smell of antifreeze, so that's not the problem. I'd check for a clogged evaporator drain tube per post #3. It's #92950 here:



Note: The condenser is in front of the radiator, the evaporator is in the cabin.

What was the issue finally? How did u fix it?
