Why is my air conditioner leaking in my car?
I believe my A/C is leaking inside the car (2000 LX470). When running there is a slow drip onto the passengers side carpet in front of the seat. When I have my usual paper trash down there the fluid leaves a pinky/greeny type stain on it – so I don’t think it is pure water.
Why does water leak out of the a / C system?
Because the hose faces downward, the air passing the open end of the hose creates negative pressure that draws the water out of the system. Now, when the A/C is on blast, air pressure is reversed and water should leak out of the drain hose away from the truck’s interior. Figure 1. Drain hose attached to the passenger’s side firewall. Figure 2.
What to do if your air conditioner is leaking on the ground?
If it is a blocked condensate drain, the harm if ignored could be more mold build up, which smells. Fix: clean the evaporator core, so it won’t smell, and unclog the condensate drain, so it can leak on the ground.

Why does my Vitara air conditioner leak water?
It had an adapter on the end of the condensation line to extend it enough to get through the firewall. The seal for this adapter wears out after time then the adapter is loose and allows water to drip into the passenger compartment. I bought a cheap endoscopic camera on Amazon that connects to your cellphone over WiFi to be able to see under there.

Why is there water on the passenger side of my car?
Water on floor passenger side from clogged AC condensate drain. This is one of the more common problems. It’s caused by bacteria buildup on the AC evaporator coil located in the heater box under your dash. Bacteria from airflow combines with condensation from the AC coil to produce a mildew/mold smell and the formation of a slime on the AC fins.
