I got my 97 2.2CL's A/C unit serviced by the dealer 2-3 weeks ago for a "leaking valve" that made intermittent hissing sounds (progressively over a year) near the glovebox. They replaced the part and recharged the system, no more hissing sounds and A/C worked great. I also got the front & rear bumper and the right side of my car painted recently.

Anyway... I picked up the car from the paint shop today (minor touchups, head to clean off some overspray), and all day today, as I accelerated there is a watery fluid dripping under/in front of the glovebox area (where all the cables/wires are). The front portion of my passenger mat is now soaked. I tried looking for anything wet near the cables under the glovebox, as well as in the engine compartment... nothing. It doesn't drip when idle, only when I'm accelerating it seems. Having the AC on or off doesn't seem to matter.

Any ideas?

 

i had the same problem a while back and it was an A/C leak.

 

Whoever serviced your AC fucked something up IMO. I would take it back to them and see what they say.

 

Evap box or whatever, the drain is probably clogged.

 

This is a pretty common problem

 

thanks guys - clogged drain - fixed
