 Subject: Leaking Water, but from where?
IP: Logged
Message:
here is what happening, maybe you guys/girls know more about this then I do.
The past week has been about 80 to 90 degrees and very humid. when I turn off the truck after driving it for a few miles ( about 30 or so, thats just to the store and back) a puddle forms under the truck. Right in the middle.
here is where it gets wierd. I don't have A/C, so that isn't it.
It is water, not Anit-freze (or coolant, whatever you like to call it) it just smells/feels, like water.
so my question is, where is this coming from? is it bad? good? normal?
thank you
MM

Is it coming down near the bellhousing of the transmission? It could be the rear freeze plugs.
For your sake I hope not. That was a bear to get to.

Maybe condensation from the exhaust?? like what drips out of the tail pipe sometimes.

Well, thank you all for the help, but I found out where it was coming from. It is coolant, but I have too much water mixed in with my coolant, that's why it wasn't green, or smelling like coolant.
I drove on the highway today, made it there, but not back. had to tow it. I'm not sure I want to keep this truck anymore! o-well, more money spent on it that could be spent better else where....

I work in a bodyshop in the southwest and I see fresh water all the time when customers complain that now the vehicle is not drivable after a little bumper tap because it is leaking.
It is completely normal for there to be alot of condensation after running your a/c. So much so that there is often a puddle.
I don't know much about cars but I do know that.
