why is water dripping from my TSX?

Hey guys,

Fairly new to the site. But I have to say all your information enabled me to walk into an Acura dealer and buy my TSX with confidence! Thanks.

My car's about 6 hours old. Just brought it back from the dealer and I noticed water dripping from my TSX's undercarraige. Not a ton of water, but enough to make a small river on my garage floor. Slowed a great deal over a few minutes. Do you think it's water from the car wash at the dealer? Did anyone else experience this?

Just want to know if I should be worried.

Best night of driving I've had in a long time. Thanks a bunch.

Welcome to the forum - and best of luck with your TSX!

Your "problem" is a common one. You were running the A/C weren't you?

For whatever reason it is (and it's probably a good thing) - TSX's seem to produce a large amount of water when the A/C is running. So, it's nothing to be worried about - it's just condensation from the A/C!

Thanks guys for the quick posts and show of support.
Good to know my water drip problem is normal...and yes, I was running the A/C big time.

I've got 220 miles on my car in 2 days. Can't wait to break 1k so I can really drive!

Sure you'll just have to change the filter sooner
