Leaks

Is it normal for there to be a watery substance leaking out from under the car sometimes when you turn the car off?

I noticed quite a bit of something like water leaking out from under the middle of my car today, i called the dealership, they said it was normal.

Is it the AC or something?

Clear water? AC. Condensation draining.

Don't worry about it, it's quite normal. Did you ever had another car with AC before? I asked myself the same question a couple of years ago with my first car: I stopped the car, look at the liquid, bla bla bla and figured out it was the AC.

Now go enjoy your car!

It's normal. TL is a big car and there are well-documented cases of many owners experiencing frequent A/C fan cycles... which would explain why you see the condensation dripping underneath.

All cars do it... some more than others...

I agree that it's probably AC condensation. I went on a long road trip to Norh Carolina and it was hot. Needed to stop for extended periods parked with AC on. When I got out to stretch my legs and I saw something a pool of liquid under the car, I had a baby in the car and I almost thought we would be stranded.

It was long drive....luckily I didn't get any speeding tickets. Seeing a docked aircraft carrier was pretty cool too.

It's unanimous, it's 99.9% sure it's H2O from the AC. It can be an alarming amount on a humid day.
But you can check under where your car is parked to see that the water disappears from the puddle. If it's an oil or coolant leak it will not disappear from your garage floor or parking spot.
