    Default Driver side water drip

    If making a spirited corner to the right cold water drips on my accelerator foot. Only happens when negotiating a hard corner turning right. I assume it is coming from ac since it is cold. My drain is not clogged. Any ideals? I have a theory but please chime in if anyone else has had this happen.

    You sound sure above it is water so not assuming the heater core. I guess you wash your car once and a while or get rained on? Think you might have a small leak in the lower windshield seal or cowl that might go unnoticed? It could create a small pool after meandering through the fire wall you only get when you turn right?

    My SVO did it to me but it was antifreeze so I have a heater core to do someday.

    not heater core water...no antifreeze. It only does this when a/c has been running. Water is very cold which tells me it is coming from inside blower ducts. Also when I installed new windshield in my car I had no rust or water leaks present under the cowl area or windshield pinchweld area.

    Good chance its condensation water, only existing with a/c on.
    Drips collect as a tiny puddle in a low spot of the duct work.
    Then puddle rolls out of duct on right turn.
    Drain could be partially open? Normal puddle under car?
    Firewall seal intact, not letting tubing condensate seep inside?

    An LCD digital inspection camera will snake into duct openings.
    I used mine to see if a duct door was closed or open.
    Plus to check area deep back in the cowl, etc.
    Even a cheap one under 50.00 works fine. View orientation can be confusing.
    Seen some that connect to a smart phone.

    this is exactly what I have traced the trbl to. Low spot box under dash. Drain works fine when water level reaches high enough
