Hey lads, so i didn't drive thebcar for a few days and found some fluid on the ground. The second pic is underneath where it is dripping and lastly after a few hours. I had the A.C. on for a little but but never noticed this liquid on the ground last year. Is the A.C. unit or condenser underneath the driver door? The liquid is odorless and I think it is water but it is also underneath the brake fluid and windshield washer area as well? Any help would be appreciated.

What does it taste like? LOL...J/K... If it's clear and no color I would bet it's just water.

K thanks Garrett , but is that where the condenser is?

The a/c drain is on the passenger side fwd of firewall (I think) & shouldn't drip on other parts of car, could be wrong. Just a thought, does it feel oily or slippery rubbed between your fingers? The brake line runs along the driver's side on A8 cars, have you recently installed side skirts? There is warning about not drilling into that brake line. Check brake fluid reservoir anyway, a line could have a leak I suppose. Again, if I'm totally off base I'm sure to be toasted on here but am only trying to present possibilities.

10-4 on the condenser being on the front passenger side.

Thanks for the feedback guys, car us an M7. It doesn't feel oily and feels like water but little concerning that it is under the driver side?

Mine drops water in the same place. I believe it is condensation from the AC.

You have answered your own question...it is water.

My AC only drips on the passenger side.

Soak some up with a paper towel to see if it has any color at all.
The windshield washer fluid tank is right behind the left front wheel, and there is a service bulletin on some that may crack and be replaced under warranty.

coladin

Good idea will do that now because it clearly is dripping and the car has been sitting for 24 hours. I don't think it is water

coladin

No I haven't but thanks for dropping in!

coladin

In the light was able to see it is blue so you are right, thanks bud! Off she goes...but I don't drive in the rain so no rush!

Here is a copy of old service bulletin, but evidently GM is still having problems with the reservoirs...
