Your airconditioner has a drain pipe near the transmission to dump all the water it builds up while you have the aircon on, unless the water is green. (I hope you use coolant and not tap water in your engine).

If it is coolant, might be a welch plug?

cheers please excuse my lack of knowledge with cars even tho my father was a mechanic but does the air con use the water from your radiator? as i have noticed its not leaking all the time only in the afternoons as i mostly allways have the aircon on?

i really hope not as from reading through these threads that seems an expensive job

The aircon will condense moisture from the air as it cools it down, the water then runs out of drain tubes under the transmission. It will be clear. If the water leaking is green it will be coolant.

Rear main seal if it's ecotec.

See my thread.

Then this is normal

And no the air con does not use water from the radiator.
