I am like oh men I have and oil leak! but no. its not oil. In fact, it feels like water!!its close to the oil pan, but does not seem to be oil.. I could not get under my car (too damn low) but I notice that there was some water/oil/coolant/water?? under my mom's new lancer too!!! it also started today! That does not seem to be oil either. I check her whole engine comportment and nothing, but every now and then something drips out off somewhere. the leaking is not from anywhere near the engine. In both cars it seems to be right in between the engine and the passenger compartment.<br />Any help and ideas will be greatly appreciated.<br />thank you<br />jersey<br /><br />PD: do u think my warranty is still valid with the mods I have?? I have around 5k miles. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>jmir018</b> <br /><small>Member # 1414</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,7,1,20,59,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> yes in both cars... the fluid i am loosing is transparent and not a dense as oil....it surprisingly feels just like whatever.<br />please anyone help me, otherwise i am not gonna be able to go to the santa cruz cruise, i jsut dont wanna be driving around and take a chanse of something breaking <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>z ya</b> <br /><small>Member # 1327</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,7,1,21,17,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Dont trip, I was from your a/c running.

The heater core housing also contains the air conditioner evaporator (if the vehicle is equipped with a/c). Whenever the a/c is used, the cold freon circulating through the evaporator causes the warmer outside air to condense around the evaporator into water droplets. The water then drips off the evaporator to the bottom of the housing. The housing contains a drain that drains the water outside. Usually the drain is located above or near the exhaust which is why sometimes a hissing noise is heard as the water drains onto the hot exhaust. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
