Hi Lookinco,<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by lookinco:
Today when I parked my car on a little hill, I saw some liquid coming out from under my car. Could it be something leaking from my car, or is it the air conditioner ? Weather here in Vancouver is not very hot, and I only turned my AC to 23C .</font>
Where was the water coming from? The AC condensation drain drops the water just inside the right front wheel. This is normal anytime the AC is active. Keep in mind, the AC part of the ventilation system works the same regardless of what temperature you've got the system set for. The difference is, whether or not it also blends in a little heat to keep the temperature where you want it. As a result, a fair amount of water condenses out of the air as it's being cooled. This is perfectly normal and nothing to be concerned about.
FWIW, here on the Texas Gulf Coast, we routinely run 80% or higher in relative humidity with temps above 90 degrees. That means there's a lot of moisture in the air and it's not uncommon for me to find a small river running down the driveway after I park the car.

Drive Safe,
Steve
