Aircon leak

[InternetSwag]

Hi guys, I noticed some fluid under my car when I stop driving.

Took it to a mechanic, he said its an aircon pump leak. But he doesn't specialize in it so he can't fix it, I need to go to an aircon guy.

I still under warranty, so I took it to Reeds.

They said there's nothing wrong, it was condensation and is normal.

I literally know nothing about cars. Does what Reeds is saying make sense?

Aircons do drip water

Yes. Condensation forms on the outside of an aircon, hence why building aircons have a little runoff pipe

Aha, okay thanks, that puts my mind at ease.

Clearly your mechanic oke knows as much about cars as you do.. sure, he may not know aircons to work on them but as a mechanic should at least know that water from the Aircon is normal..

Wasn’t too hot today so it shouldn’t leak or drip at all

high humidity means more water condensation off cold parts of the compressor and pipes

That “mechanic” was ready to do some work on your wallet. Never go there again.

Some days it almost looks like my car has spilled a glass of water on the ground, but no, it's just condensation from the air conditioner.

Aircon systems have no water in them only Gas.
The only other area of your car that has water in it is the cooling system of the engine.

If you had a gas leak you would notice it very quickly since your aircon wont blow any cold air anymore.

The water is however perfectly normal if it comes from condensation created by your aircon system.

Thanks, fml I'm changing mechanics.

Some fluid? Was it watery, sticky, oily? Cause that would determine the issue . But yeah if it was very watery it's probably just the condensation from the aircon, happens if you run it a lot and it's hot outside.
