What's This Leaking For, and Should I be Worried?

[CoMarc]

I just got home a few hours ago from camping and pulling my 2000 lb pop-up through some mountains/hills, part of which I had the AC on during the longer straight and level stretches. The truck did outstanding (no suprise there) and ran like a champ, it never showed signs of overheating, and the AC was cold! So, I got back and after having the truck sit for awhile I came back to it and found a puddle of (I believe) water just behind the front, passenger tire area and the truck itself is still pretty hot (not to mention it's in the mid 90's here too. I found the drip from a nozzel coming out of the firewall infront of the passenger area (pictures attached). The first picture is looking down into the engine bay at the nozzel; the second is a close-up of the nozzel.

What is this, and should I be worried? Should I check my coolent or radiator levels? Thanks for your help!

Looks like normal AC runoff from your Condenser??? We get it all year round in Houston.. of course we use AC all year round too..


NORMAL!

yes. when you run the ac in humid conditions, water condenses on the heat exchanger and that water has to go somewhere

Yeah don't worry about it. Like what others said it's normal and mines drips water every time I use it (since I always use the A/C)

Thanks for the answers, everyone! This was the first time I've ever used the AC (other than they day I went to go buy it to make sure it worked) and the first vehicle I ever used AC in. Good to know it's normal.

The flux capacitor must be rubbing on your muffler bearings!!! Grease your seat latches and you'll be fine. :
