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... 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.

 

oh yeah and it hasnt rained where I was...

 

Condensation from the AC?

 

 

i'm pretty sure its water from your AC.

 

A/C evap drain, normal.

 

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.

 

precum

 

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.

 

Hahaha

 

 

Blinker fluid???

 

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 **** puddle. lol.

 

i get all my fluids from the ground.. dunno about yal.. but i love me some puddles.

 

a/c for sure

 

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.

 

yes n no. Theres nothng in your car that will really get you poisoned bad from a tiny taste. Your livers a tough bastard.

do not ingest.

As with other things in life.. smell it before you put your mouth on it bahahah.
