Came out to the garage today to find this rather concerning puddle.

-> Garage has been shut tight for 24 hrs, car was only out for 30 min yesterday.
-> Liquid is clear (no color), no smell, not oily feeling, and is evaporating.
-> Car is still wet/drippy on the underside - just behind front wheels, in the center.
-> Ignore the white crusty lines on the garage floor - not from the car.

Am I being paranoid or is this something I need to have looked at?

 

water from the a/c evaporator

 

Could be just condensation from AC pipes if you had the AC running before putting it away.

 

Agreed. Just the drainage from the AC evaporator.

 

first time you have turned on the air?

 

Yesterday was the first day with A/C. With the humidity and sealed up garage I should have put 2+2 together.

We moved in the fall so this is the first time seeing any kind of A/C runoff in the new garage.. Never recall seeing this much!! But a small slope to the floor probably exaggerates the amount of liquid.

Sanity restored, thanks gents!!!

 

Looks like air conditioning drippings to me.

Epoxy floor time. Summer project?
Looking at that baseboard heater... watch that thermostat on the wall. Is it a Demplex (sp)? A few of them don't really turn off. So when the garage is -2c, even though the thermostat is off, it is still drawing power. Put your hand on the heater, it will be warm.
Unless you are using it to heat the garage in the winter.
Best turn the baseboard off at the breaker for winter.

 

Garage is on the to-do list

We have a single attached for the Mrs and the family-mobile, and the double detached for my toys.. Both have electric heaters with thermostats turned off, but had no idea it they could still be running.. Now that you mention it there was always a puddle under the snow blower in the detached, even through the dead of winter..... thanks for the tip!

 

the tube behind passenger front wheel...i forget, that is for the batt condensation (or frunk drain)? or AC? either way, doesnt the AC have a dedicated exit? i.e. if it's coming out the panels, is a drain clogged somewhere? FWIW i do use my AC but i guess just never really paid attn to where it was dripping from...
