you should use another website for the video, I had to listen to adds and it plays slow so i had to escape.

Coolant leak?
Hey guys got home today after a quick 20 minute drive and i heard some liquid dripping on the exhaust and burning up. I got under neath and found a drip on the drivers side of the car right above the CAT. Whats confusing me is that the liquid looks to be clear and it does not look or smell like coolant, it seems to just be water. I though maybe there was some pooled rain water that's dripping down, but i dont see why it would be a consistent drip after a drive, but thought maybe its been dripping and just didn't notice it because the exhaust wasn't hot to hear it burn off? Are there any common hoses or anything that leaks in that general area to check? Here's a quick video i tried to take but it didn't come out that clear since its getting dark.

I wonder if your drains were plugged up could it fill up? There is a drain hose behind the battery

So this morning the leak was not there, I did check the drain line and was able to reach in and access it like you said and it was gunked up pretty bad and a steady flow of water came out after I cleared it! So at this point I'm assuming that's where the leak was coming from until it occurs again! Thanks for the help!

actually now that you mention it when i replaced my passenger side speaker the carpet was dry but the insulation under it was damp/wet. Ive been trying to track down where the water came from. Perhaps thats where lol Where is the drain in that area?!
