Default Leak Question...

Just recently my Jeep Leaks a lot of water from underneath the passenger side area. What is causing all this water?

I believe it's from your A/C. Mine does this too. Did you just have your A/C recharged?

The only think I have done to it recently was change a few gaskets.

What part of the A/C system is causing all this water?

Is it water or is it coolant? If it is water there are drains in the windshield cowl that is suppose to drain rain water and snow melt etc If they get plugged it over flows into the ac/heater and drips on the passenger floor boards.

AC systems create a lot of water through condensation during normal operation, even more so if you are in a humid climate

as long as it's water and not coolant(as stated above) you are fine. A/C systems are supposed to do this, the fluid comes out of the A/C drain and onto the pavement. Totally normal operation. Did you just never notice it before? Has it been extra humid? Did you just start using your A/C?

I've notice water dripping from the tail pipe and from underneath before. Which is normal.

However, this is a lot more water than it used to drip. No coolant, just a giant puddle of water.

Don't know if this has something to do with the compressor or condensor?

Have you been running the AC just before parking? If so it is like they said above. It can drop a lot of water on the ground after parking. I wouldn't be surprised to see a pint or more after running a while.
