Have any of you guys/gals had a water leak on your TL before? My TL has 3000 miles on it. Some stranger pointed that out to me today while I was driving. With and without the a/c on there are constant drops leaking. Im sure its not oil, coolant etc. because I placed a piece of cardboard on the bottom and it is plain water. It is 105 degrees right now where I live. My 99 Accord with over 100K miles on it doesn't leak anything!

It's condensation dripping from the AC accumulator, not a leak. Normal in 105 degree heat.

If you have it on "Auto" the AC is still on. Turn it to say "AC OFF" and there shouldn't be any drips.

Whew, I was thinking the same thing. I noticed my car leaking water, I was getting a little noid. I live in TX and it's above 95 degress daily

95 degrees sounds pretty good to me.

Shot this a couple hours ago.

It could be that you went through a puddle of water because i thought my car was leaking something once but then i realized that i went through a puddle. The rear well liner soaks up lots of water so it will drip

But in that temperature, i dont think there will be any puddle of water lying around

datmrman

I agree. Mine leaves puddles like its marking its territory.

It also helps when there is 90% humidity as there is right now, more condensation for it to suck up

Its a normal function of your AC. All cars have a drain tube for water and unless you live in a place with 1% humidity you will see water draining when you run the car AC. The warmer the air the larger the amount of water it can hold and vice versa. So when warm air hits a cold surface, as the warm air cools, the excess moisture condenses out. When your car brings in warm air from the outside and cools it down, this is what is happening. Home air conditioners do this also, they have a drain tube. Nothings wrong, just how the system works. Look up relative humidity on the internet and you will get the details. Your Honda Accord did this also, you just never noticed it...Check out any Chemistry or Physics book or even go on HowStuffWorks.com.

Just put a glass under it and make cool-aid. It's nice clean condensed water!!

Makes excellent lemonade also...

That's just nasty - LoL!

Yep, my TL marked it's territory all day in this 110 degree NOR*CAL weather.

Your lucky....my temp gauge has shown nothing but dashes since I owned it. Well, I can get a temp first thing in the morning, but much after that, it's over 115 and all I get are dashes. Stupid gauge.

That may be the highest record on the board (dashes don't count).

I think I still have the lowest. Took this in January.

How accurate is our Thermometer in our cars?? I have the A/C off when I park it, but I still get those water leaks. I know it's from the A/C so I'm not worried. I'm just wondering how accurate our thermoemeter is. It's wierd sometimes.

Mine is about +5 deg off. Is there anyway to recaliberate the temperature sensor?

lawjockey

I never took a pic, but I had it once at -15 (and no, I wasn't blowing LN into the sensor)

If your TL only has 3,000 miles on it, I would suggest that you take your car in for service since it's covered under warranty.
