clear liquid dripping from front right of 350z
 
I am a new z owner, purchased an 08 350z last week. I went on a roadtrip this weekend and on the way back on a off ramp there was a large rock. Unfortunately it was pitch black and I didn't see it at first. Well after about an hour of driving I stopped at a gas station to fill up, I noticed there was a liquid dripping from the front right. It seems like it was dribbling down the frame so I am unsure where the source is. The liquid is; odorless, clear, not sticky, didn't taste like anythign:icon21:... So I assume it is probably water. Other than the winshield wipper fluid(which has the fluid in it so its not just water. I cant think what it could be.

Then it must be the same stuff that drips from a home window air conditioning unit.:)

Well that could make sense. I was just surprised by the amount. It made a pretty good sized puddle just while getting 5 gallons of gas.

The amount of condensation varies depending on factors such as humidity. Current humidity in Baltimore, MD is 83 percent. Figure Virginia is about the same.

On the other hand is a Tucson, AZ member where humidity is 31 percent. Very little if any condensation.

have you noticed how cold the ac gets lol

The AC condensation drain is under the footwell on the passenger side. That's sorta right front.

The reservoir for the windshield washer is under/behind the front bumper on the passenger side. That's very right front.

Blinker fluid???

Arvin89 08-29-2011 07:17 AM

Its the A/C evap. I noticed this when my 350 was new to me too. And i dont know if you should be tasting fluids on the ground. It might have been a piss puddle. lol.

bmccann101 08-29-2011 08:33 AM

Mcutali 08-29-2011 09:11 AM

zakmartin 08-29-2011 10:04 AM

I'm a bit surprised I'm the first person who's posting this little nugget of wisdom, but....

DUDE! Never, ever, EVER taste any fluid leaking from your car. You can't possibly do anything much more stupid than that. :suicide:
