Car leaking fluid

[Hicks]

I've noticed recently when I start up my LC it leaves a small trail of fluid on the driveway. It's not oil. I've checked all the fluid levels and they seem ok.
Someone suggested to me it might be the air con. I've never noticed the car doing this before. Any ideas what could be leaking?

Could well be the aircon, after it has been on a long time it will leave a pool of water under the car

Yup, mine does this when I have had the air con on for a while, and it stands for a few minutes on the drive.

Nothing to worry about. It's just condensation dripping off the air con condensor.

If you read the manual it says that water that has condensed on the aircon compressor may drip off the car.

Perfectly normal mate!

I get the same with my LCR - it dribbles a trail of liquid (which appears to be water) even when it's been on the driveway all night and started from cold... does look like it's coming from the air-con though...

Thanks. It did surprise me that I got the trail of liquid even when it's been standing on the drive all night, but the water must have collected on the subframe.

That was my thought - I was underneath my the other day (doing an oil change) and spotted that the air-con hoses go to the lower back right corner of the engine bay (as facing the car) so I guess the condenser is down in that corner...
