What Causes Water Leakage Under the Front of the Car?
2 Answers
Water leakage under the front of the car is caused by condensation dripping from the air conditioning system in use, a malfunction in the radiator cooling system, or windshield washer fluid dripping. Below is an introduction to car water dripping: 1. How to deal with car water leakage: Clean the accumulated water inside the car using a dry towel or scooping tools, check which parts and components inside the car are damaged, and promptly take it to a repair shop if the damage is severe. 2. Notes: It could also be drainage from the air conditioning system, which is a normal phenomenon in summer. Water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car is also normal, and this commonly occurs in winter.
The other day I noticed water dripping under the front of my car and initially thought it was a serious issue. However, an experienced driver told me it's normal condensation from prolonged AC use, especially common in summer after parking. If the water is clear and odorless, there's no need to worry. But if it's green, blue, or red, it might indicate coolant leakage, and you should immediately visit a repair shop to check the radiator or hoses, as losing coolant can cause the engine to overheat and stall. I once experienced antifreeze leakage due to a cracked radiator, which cost me a few hundred to replace. Also, windshield washer fluid can leak if the hose is damaged - usually appearing as blue liquid. Regular maintenance checks by mechanics can prevent this. In summary, most front-end car leaks are harmless, but always pay attention to color and smell to ensure safety.
