mystery leak

[fozzie]

hi everyone. A small drip has started in the front middle of my l300. It looks like water but I can't figure where that would come from. It does lead from a tube that is just up a little bit. Could it be a/c (I think my wife had it on), or from the front rad (that I don't know what it is for)?And why is it water? It only lasted for 15 or so minutes, but it was dripping pretty good.

Radiator overflow? The hose is not going over to the expansion tank, therefore dripping is in the middle of the van instead of under the passenger seat?

Water? Maybe you don't have enough radiator fluid in your radiator? Been topped up with water too many times and now it seems more like water instead of water/glycol mix?

Or, now that I think of it, condensation from the air conditioning lines. Once you shut the A/C off, the lines don't condense, and there's no more dripping. That would be pure water.

Most likely a/c. You can try and duplicate this by turning on your a/c and seeing where/ what drips down. Would't hust to take a peek at fluid levels and check for leaks just in case.

Sounds like A/C to me too. Is it more on the passenger side of center? That is where my van drips after the A/C has been running.
