Hey guys,
I bought a new mazda 6i GT last month. I have noticed water leaks when i park my car. I dont think its coolant... it was clear and seemed like water...any comments on wats happening. Its a new car!
thanks

 

water/fluid leaking into the car or under the car? After using air Cond.? If parked on a slope, front up or back up?

 

under the car..front right side . i didnt park it on a slope. i checked the water level for the wipers it seemed low. i had used the ac when the car was running.

 

sounds like its just from your a/c...no worries but you might want to call up your dealer and run it by the service guy over the phone......

Front right side is the AC condensor. If its green (or orange) and sticky, then it would be coolant.

My wife's 6 does the same thing (as does my 3)

 

Is that normal?? I have not seen that before

 

Every vehicle I have every owned (and that's a lot) drips water off of the AC condensor when the AC has been running (It beads up on the outside and drips off) It's completely harmless & normal.

 

That sounds like the water from the a/c. So nothing to worry. To avoid this dripping and to prolong the life of a/c core in the dash, a mechanic has recommend that: a few minutes before the end of your driving trip, turn off the a/c but keep the fan running. This will keep the core dry to prevent corrosion and no dripping when you park.

 

Thanks guys,
I will contact my mechanic and check with him anyways.... I will keep you posted about any latest developments.
Have fun driving

 

Definitely sounds like a/c condensation...a normal and expected thing, no worries. Cheers,

David
