Default Water dripping????

It has been unusually (for the UK) warm here today, and so on my drive home from work the A/C was doing its stuff and keeping me cool.

I've just noticed water dripping from an area in the middle of the (where the plastic cover runs beneath the transmission tunnel and in line with the bottom of the windscreen, and therefore beneath all the heating/ventilation gear at the rear of the luggage compartment.

Is this likely to be condensation from the AC?

TIA,

Could also be your engine's radiator. Better top it off with some anti-freeze given the weather conditions shown in your avitar!

Actually, my car does this all of the time after running the AC.

Yes, the first thing I suspected was the radiator. I hadn't checked it since I put the anti-freeze in last autumn (aka fall). The water level was fine, so I guessed it must have been the A/C.

radiator? I have been looking for the engine in these darn things for the past 7 years... I looked for it time after time and couldn't find it under the front hood...

Do you mean the engine in the back is not a spare?
