Water Drip from middle of car!

Post by lukedon »

Hi all,

Im new to the site, and will post in the newbie section soon, but for now I'm just trying to find out what the problem is, so I can relax.

I noticed some spots on the drive after pulling up, its clear and odourless so is defiantly water.

I looked under the car, and its dripping quite near the middle, where the exhaust splits into two, (I'm not very technical sorry!)

I've attached a still of a video I took.

Im hoping someone will say its nothing and i can stop worrying!

Any ideas?

Have you had the aircon on? I know it drips water when its running. Just a thought!!

As Z3Steve has said, quite probably condensate from the air con (If your car has it that is 8-) )

Had it happen on quite a few air conditioned cars and it can be quite un-nerving until you realise what it is.

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

There are a number of drainage pipes that flow water from around the roof and doors/windows away and dump it under the car, have seen them on a thread on here but have also seen it under my car on occasions :)
