Why does the car leak coolant when the air conditioning is turned on?

It is normal for a car to leak coolant when the air conditioning is turned on, because the water vapor in the air condenses into liquid when it cools, so what leaks out is the condensate water from the air conditioning. Here are some relevant details: 1. Coolant: The full name of coolant should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze function. Coolant can prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head when the car is parked in cold winter. 2. Protective effect: Coolant provides anti-corrosion protection for the components of the cooling system; prevents scale formation, avoiding a reduction in the radiator's heat dissipation effect; and ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range.
