Default drip behind the passenger front wheel

so i have recently noticed a drip behind the passenger side front wheel. im pretty sure its just condensation from the a/c because although i havent noticed it before, i havent been looking nor have i been running the a.c much before now. i smelled and felt the puddle on the ground, yea i know, lame, but it doesnt feel slippery like oil or trans fluid so the only things i can guess are coolant or condensation. i dont really see why any coolant lines would be in that far back so i guess i just answered my own thread. thanks for the help anyway

If you've been running your AC then I'm sure that's all it is. You know the overflow for coolant comes out in front of that wheel too.

i know you don't want to hear this, but if it burns when you pee, then it doesn't matter if the drip is behind the steering wheel or the passenger seat...you should see a doctor for a shot. LOL Drip...LOL Sorry, I know, non-contributing to this thread.

I think it's your AC. If it were your coolant overflow it would be coupled with steam.

It could be the heater core fittings up on the firewall, but I doubt it if it doesn't smell , look or feel like anti-freeze.

Your a/c drain is at the firewall - that's behind your wheel.
