Default Do you drip back here too?

I noticed this drip back here behind the passenger door yesterday for the first time. The "usual" drip under the car in the middle was there, as well. It was only around 85 degrees and the air was on. I just don't remember seeing it back here before.

It's probably condensation. It could have run back there after you shut it down or maybe there was a puddle already there. There's no water or coolant lines in that location.

Yep, it's water alright. No gas smell. The puddle wasn't there before. It happened in the garage after I pulled in too.

They usually drip underneath the vicinity of the passenger's foot well right over the exhaust pipe (as in sizzle, sizzle). Maybe your drain tube is causing the condensation to run along the firewall and down underneath the car a ways....although that spot just seems a long way for it to go.

I'd chase it down and see what's what.

Could it be water from car wash or puddle splash, that finally decided to drain out?

No car wash recently, drove it for 2 hours last time and then noticed the drip again ... no puddles. It's got me stumped. I'll take another look today.

Take it to the dealer. It could be a serious issue.
