Hello, my problem is that I have recently noticed that I cant keep water and or coolant in my car. Today I decided to see why, i just noticed this problem yesterday. I let my car warm up for a couple of minutes and immediatley I noticed a a pretty steady trickle of water. The problem is I cant really tell where the water is coming from. I am going to try and describe this in the best way possible. If you are laying underneath my car from the front with your feet pointing out the front it is about 7 to 10 inches to the right(passenger) side of the catalitic converter. It is also located farther back than I would assume, way back lined up with the catalitic converter bolts. I think the leak is coming somewhere from by the steering rod but I know its not the steering rod. Any help guys and girls?

 

Check the hose behind the engine.
Weird description:
When looking at the engine in the enginebay, behind where the 4th cylinder is (right to left) is a hose that attachs to the head of the engine. Follow that hose and you will see that it has a metal connector that connects it to another hose. Follow that new hose to where it ends (further from you) maybe that is where your leak is coming from.

 

so the number 4 cylinder is on the passenger side? Also I forgot to note that I just started noticing this leak as soon as I mounted my compressor back on. The reason the compressor wasnt on there first is because I had to get a new mount. This is a B18 engine in a 99 Civic EX. Do yall think it could be anything to do with the AC? If not then what hoses should I check? Arent all cars supposed to leak a little when the AC is on?

 

Anybody that can help me out I would really appreciate it, because I am about to have to leave to go to work. I dont wont to leave without getting somewhere on the problem I have because I fear that my car might overheat.

 

Yes all cars leak with the AC on, but they don't leak coolant, it's water. Are you just thinking that the drip from your car is coolant when it is really water from the ac? Cause that's where the AC drips from, in your description.

 

So you Do thibk its the AC? Well for some reason yesterday I had hardly any coolant in my car I wonder why? Do you know why that could be?

 

so do you have coolant in your car now? if so, crank it over and let it run for a bit, or put a couple gallons of water in the trunk and go to work. once the engine cools down after you get to work check your coolant levels. it's probably just condensation from your comressor.
