Out of my catalyic convertor Im just wondering what could be wrong with my car? Everytime today after driving I've had water come out of the catalytic convertor. The water leaks for about 5 minutes after turning the engine off, and then stops leaking. It also makes a ticking noise. Could it be because I'm driving with my AC on or anyone else have any ideas what it could be

 

I doubt it has anything to do with your A/C if the water is coming from the catalytic convertor, but what you describe isn't out of the ordinary. In fact, I'd wager that what you're seeing isn't entirely water, possibly some unburnt fuel mixed with condensation. The ticking sound is just the cat cooling off and equalizing temperature. If you want the water to go away, I would suggest that it's tune-up time.

 

Are you sure the water is coming from the catalytic converter and not the air conditioner?

 

Kinda off topic... but when I read the description I thought he was talking about adding water injection for a turbo system and that would be the first time I've seen that tried on a honda (relatively known factor in DSM land)... anyway its prolly just the AC condensor

 

Guess its just the AC condenser, thanks for the help guys :exnbp:

 

It's not that difficult, but most of the Honda guys reach the limit of strength on the internal parts long before they reach the limit of the compressors and have to find another way to increase cylinder pressures, decrease charge temperatures, and better atomize the fuel
