TL leaking water near rear of motor under car, why?
My 99 TL leaks water! I don't know why, I noticed it about 2 weeks ago but didn't think anything of it. But now im thinking about it, I thought it was because of the AC, it rained a lot last night and the water is still leaking from the car as I type, I know for a 100% fact its not antifreeze, what is it?

I'm guessing it's your AC condenser dumping water. All cars do this if the AC is running.

Yeah it's hard to see but if you climb under and take a look, it's probably dripping out of the drain tube coming from the firewall area. All AC systems (car/house/whatever) condense water on the evaporator coils and it has to drain somewhere. Your car may be running the AC on auto even if it isn't cold outside, it's used to remove moisture from the air (which then drains out the bottom). Otherwise it can get humid and stuffy in the car, and the windows can fog up.
Every time I work on my car I have a puddle of water on my garage floor from the AC.

Taste it. If it tastes like plain water then it's most likely just plain water from condensate in the air. It happens when there is a lot of moisture in the air.
