Location of AC condenser...?
 

It was a rather humid day this morning in SoCal (relatively speaking) and i noticed after i parked that there was a puddle under the car. I checked and the fluid was what appeared to be water which makes me think of condensation on the condenser, but the location of the dripping is what is making me do some thinking. The spot was behind the passenger tire and slightly inside (think of under where the passenger would put their feet, and if you look under the car, you can see a tiedown ring thing... thats the ballpark area). Does that sound right?

Thanks for the help

thanks! but can you tell exactly where it is? or do you know where it is? the diagram is kind of weird... looks like the compressor is in the middle of the car? does the exhaust run down the centerline?

and the last picture makes no sense to me...

I believe its part of the radiator now...please don't rip on me if it's not but I seem to remember mention of this on one of the threads on this site. Looks like it from the pics too

No need to rip as you are correct, it's one assembly

If this is for only concerns of the water dropping from the expansion tank then it's perfectly normal.

Well I don't know where that is. In my original post, I described the location of the water "leak". Is that the proper location for the leaking? or should it be dripping from the radiator due to the fact that the condenser is attached to it... ? Im trying ot figure out what is located in the area where I had water dripping...

This is correct the condenser has a drain tube that drops the water in the area you have described. Any water in the front near the radiator I would have checked if that was the case. So no worries. :tiphat:

great news thank! :tiphat:

The condenser and the radiator are one unit in front of the car, You evaporator is inside the dash, water or condensation coming out of the evaporator drain tube is very normal, that's mean it is working.

Ok... just didnt know if the condenser itself was that far back (which i doubted) so i just figured i'd ask because someone on here would know! Thanks for the help guys! :tup:
