Civic Losing Water.

[JCKST1]

Hi,
Im currently in Andorra as a stop over from UK to Spain and i have noticed that my car 2.2 cdti civic is losing water.
I have checked the tank and it hasnt budged a lot and its not over heating (even after 400-500miles in one go), Theres a rubber/plastic type pipe (approx 12mm) under the car which the water is dripping from, its under the passenger foot well.
By the looks of things its just water, no smell and its cold.
Does anyone know what it could be?

It's the air conditioning, no need to worry about it.

The dehumidifier dumps the moisture it removes from the cabin

The more you use the A/C the larger the puddle you get under the car.

Great. Thanks a lot for the help. I was stting it a bit to bit honest, I thought it was the air conditioning but it is still working fine. once i get to spain i will jack it up and sort it out.
Thanks again

There is nothing to sort out, it's normal operation. Your A/C is working as it should

Exactly, any normal car with a/c will leave a puddle on the floor after use, it's just the condensation twixt warm and cold. Don't play with it.

Yup, coolant smells of cheap white wine (or, actually, hot coolant). Sounds like you're seeing aircon condenser discharge. Not pretty but perfectly normal

Although seeing fluid coming out under your car is never a good sight!

In hot weather it'll suck more water out of the air, since there's generally more water in hot air.
