2009 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Zermatt Silver
Water dripping from underneath

I'm a little concerned that my car is dripping water from the bodywork (roughly under where the handbrake is). It drips much more when the car is running and slowly stops when the car is left standing for 4-5 hours.

It is clear water with no viscous feel so I'm assuming it is not washer fluid or brake fluid. Perhaps it is water condensed by the aircon pumps???

Anyone any ideas? New: Freelander2 GS 62 plate (MY13) - Santorini Black with Clearview & Front PDC

aircon water as you said, read the toolmans post about that same water filling his footwells after a pipe became dislodged. All aircon vehicles drip water esp in high humidity weather. At work

CG is right. It's surprising just how much water there was after two days and 900 miles. Much better outside the car than in He who dies with the most tools wins!

Air Condition is the reason for the condence overflow under the car. Mine "leaks" all the time especiallly in the 30+C temperatures we are getting of late 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I agree Nick - my car seems to leave a slick underneath it when's it's really hot (watery slick of course). It's been very humid down in this neck of the woods recently and also 28 - 30 C.
