Wet floor from condenser?

[Mbryant]

The floor on the passenger of my L300 Exceed has been very wet lately. The floor was soaked enough for me to squeegee it out the door. After I did this and then drove it for 1.5 hours with the AC on I noticed it was soaked again. I was wondering if the condenser from the AC or the cool box could be leaking into the floor? I took a very quick superficial look but could not see anything.

We did have significant rain 3 days ago but since I have had the seams re-sealed under the front panel I am hoping that is not the source of the water.

There is a little pipe that drains the plastic box that fan is in (I think I am sitting in the house) and has a little rubber hose. Passengers are known to kick this off, could be the source?

Hey thanks for the tip I checked the hose and it seems to be intact but at least it gives me a place to start looking.

After driving my Deli yesterday for a few hours with the AC on I noticed that the passenger floor was soaking. I pulled up the carpet and noticed that the hose that drains the fan/condenser had moisture around it. I pulled off the hose and pulled it out of the floor to check to see if the hose was leaking. A quick check of the hose confirmed it was intact so that led me to check around the nipple that the hose connects to.

Around the base of the connection there seemed to be cracks in fact when I moved the connection it leaked water. I considered taking the unit out to seal the cracks but a quick look and I decided that given my limited time and mechanic skills that I would leave it in place and try to seal the cracks.

So now I will be doing some research on how to remove the unit and what type of glue to fix the cracks. Or if I can get a replacement unit I will might follow that one up as well.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Try Cold Weld. Its a Permatex product that comes in 2 part tubes you mix up and goop around the crack. Just make sure its dry and dirt free. A good wire brush or steel wool will clean it up.Not sure if that tube is under pressure or not.

Good Luck
