My 2001 Cherokee drips puddles of water when I park it. Not spots but puddles. No leaks from radiator or hoses. Puddles in front of Jeep and tire on passenger side. Of course we have high humidity and run the A/C almost all year but was wondering if this is normal. There is no coolant in the puddles. Anyone have opinions about this? Thanks Sandyman

Is the fluid clear? If so it's just condensation draining out of the A/C box inside the cabin. There's a short rubber drain tube coming off the A/C box that dumps out of the firewall. If it's humid enough I imagine the condenser and compressor, and even the lines for that matter, can produce some condensation that would drip some.

I wouldn't worry about it unless the A/C isn't working right.

Mine leaves a nice big puddle every time I stop. I live in Oregon its not particularly hot or humid I just have a leaking heater core and have to run defrost all the time.

A/C is working fine. The Heater works also but have not needed it since purchase. I know where the drain comes from in the firewall and I do get water there. Since I have a slight rake for now maybe the water is draining down the body to the front and some is going down by the front tire. Water is clear. I always open my hood when I park in the garage to help heat soak so I guess I will check it next time to see how much is coming out of the drain. It just seems like a lot of water for condensation, but it is very humid here.

Mine leaked the same way. It runs down the frame rail and drips off the front bumper. I pulled the little drain tube off and replaced it with some longer tubing do it wouldn't drain into the frame rails. Pretty dumb that it does that.
