Second Gen leaking near waterpump, doesn't smell like coolant?

1. I hope you used pink coolant to fill your car, that fluid leaking looks clear, like it's AC condensation or fluid that's been collecting on the car from overnight condensation.

2. Use a white paper towel and wipe some of it up and look at the color, smell it, feel it......

3. Good job on the DIY replacement.....that's actually a pretty tough job to break loose the belt tensioner.

4 since coolant leaked out when the mechanic opened the radiator cap when the car was hot (what a donut), you'll have to refill the radiator when it's cool (preferably in the morning before you start the car)

 

AC condensation drips a lot

If you are planning to go on a long trip, it's probably best to not do any repairs before you go. Do that after you return from your trip. That way if the repair was not done correctly and if there's a bad part, you won't be too far from home. The rule of "if it's not broken, don't fix it" applies before a long trip. You just have to monitor your oil usage and make sure it doesn't go low on your trip, bring a quart of oil with you if you are traveling over 2000 miles

 

That does not look like its anywhere near the water pump area looks likes its over by the inverter pump area.

Get the car up on a lift asap and see where its leaking. Or just lay under the car the best you can and see where its leaking?

You have lots of placed for rad coolant to leak and lots of places for inverter coolant to leak. Take your camera when you go under the car but really best rto get it up on a lift ata garage.

Take it too any garage for look see should not be more that $50 for inspection. Dealer will whack you one hour min @ $140.

Whatever you do I would do it soon as it leaking pretty good and probably really leaks when your driving it. There's no temp gauge on a G2 so you will have no idea your overheating the car till the check engine comes on and that's too late engine damage ensues.

We see that alot on this site. Every car owner should own at least a Scangauge which can read & clear codes and will show engine temp mileage voltage etc.

 

I know this is old school.

But way back in the day when I was slave labor at my uncle's auto shop (he actually did pay me), we'd tell people to put a pan under the car and see what was dripping. That way you have the actual liquid in liquid form -- of course tasting it would be hazardous to your health and I would never do that or recommend it......

Of course, back in the day, most people used a metal garage floor tray as almost all cars then leaked all sorts of stuff -- it was usual and expected.

 

I'm guessing AC condensate (aka water), which is normal.

Not sure if it's been asked: how does it feel? Is it oily? Or some sort of water-based?

 

No the condensate tube is on the passenger side much farther back. Goes right down past the glove box.

 

He is in Vegas or at least his signature indicates this and while I agree with Ed regarding the location of the condensate hose. However the video appears to be shot viewing from the back side of the passenger front wheel to the front of the vehicle (I'm using the fender well fasteners as my frame of reference for my guess) and at least to me its plausible this is AC condensate.

OP, please do the white paper towel or small container under the offending leak area to better quantify the composition of the fluid and report back.

 

The drip is between the front tires.

The ac drip tube which I have serviced like 3 times so far is much much farther back. But it does have condensate looking dripping behavior the way its dripping. Either that or its a ridiculous leak.

So to the OP please shut off the ac and see if it stops dripping. Or get under the car and see where its dripping.
