AC causes water drip?

I live in an area of the country that is not all that hot most of the time, but when it hits 80 or above, I'll flip on the AC. I bought my 02 TLS in Feb and have not used the AC more than a couple of times in the past week. I'm now noticing a water drip which creates a pool underneath the car (approx 12 oz) when AC has been used.

This can't be normal, can it?

Exactly. Completely normal. And the TL has such a powerful A/C system you will get a *lot* of water if you leave it on for a while.

Completely normal

The condensation is even more the more humid it is.

BTW, it is always good to run the A/C at least one a week for 10 mintues to keep the O-rings from drying out.

OK, I was getting concerned driving away from my parking spots leaving a big wet puddles. I didn't recall seeing other cars leaving the same puddles. Nice to know it's not some kind of leak.

All cars with AC's do this, not just the TL.
