Diagnostic Help - Something leaking? - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Hi everyone, thanks in advance for your help and please let me know if I can upload videos somehow to better illustrate my issue.

I noticed what seems like water puddled under my car after I got to work and was parked for ~10 minutes with it on doing some things in my car. I popped the hood and saw on the passenger side of the engine compartment a little metal hooked “pipe” coming out from toward the cars interior and it was dripping. No loose hose or anything in sight.

What is this thing that’s leaking (edit: where is the leak coming from)? Is it water like I’m guessing? Does anything need to be done?

Thanks again!

Sure its just not the AC sweating?

Try feel it when its dripping if it cool and doesn't smell like anything you good.

Or is that the coolant line for the heater?

That black tube is the condensation drain. It is supposed to drip in humid conditions. It is working as it should be.

Thank you! That’s what I had thought but the AC wasn’t on (or maybe it was on the lowest setting) so I just wanted to confirm. I don’t know where the AC sits in the car so couldn’t be sure. It didn’t look like a hose was missing so I had assumed AC drain.

Haha I thought he circled the silverish part.

Man my eyes are bad.
