VN leaking water above transmission, behind firewall??? WTF

[shmickmik]

Ok this might sounds pretty strange as i have no idea what could be causing this (unless its somethign to do with the heater/ac system).

After i stop the car after a decent drive (long enough to get her up to temp) there is water dribbling from directly underneath the auto sump. Its clear water and very hot. The first thing i thought was "oh no, the radiator has somehow cracked and letting coolant into the transmission cooler lines".

However after sitting underneath the car and just waiting........ i realised that right above the transmission is a 50cent right angled piece sized hose? that is protruding from behind the firewall of the car. It looks sort of like a hose thats been split in 2.. however it looks like thats how it was from factory as the ends are flared and not ripping or cutting is evident.

It would be directly underneath the radio of the car.. anyway i noticed that water is dripping from this hose not the tranny and was wondering what the hell it is.. and whats going on??

I have some pics although they are pretty dodgy..

im pretty sure thats the aircon drainage tube, nothing to worry bout

[shmickmik]

Phew i hope so lol

Would the water be hot to the touch if it was the aircon condensation?? It may only be hot because its dripping off teh tranny though..

If i go to sell it, the buyers may think im pulling their leg if i say its just aircon condensation lol

haha yeh could be hot after being on the tranny - go for a drive down the nearest shopping centre and see how many cars have lil puddles under em lol its common

Either condensation from the air conditioner. Obviously only will appear after running the air conditioner for a while.

Or your heater core is leaking, but this should have a coolant colour and smell to it.
