What is this fluid?

[Jimmilew]

Hi All,

My truck is talking to me. What is this fluid? Its not oill, and its not AC watter. Its a little viscous, and its coming from the left side of the truck. I crawled under there to take a look but all seems dry. Thoughts?

Thanks for any ideas on what this might be in your experience!

My vote is DEF or ac water

Brake fluid?

What does it taste like?

Maybe its AC water that seems viscous from mixing with dirt on the floor?

Dang, threw me off when you said it’s not ac water in the original post.

Yeah, I threw myself off as well. The AC water mixed with the cement floor in my garage and made it feel viscous. Lesssons learned!

My truck seems to produce more AC water than any other vehicle I have owned.....

 

[wishywashy]

Mine drips condensation off the AC like crazy. Always gives me a minor coronary event when I notice it. Now that i'm getting used to it, I worry that one day it won't be condensation and something will actually be leaking.

Agreed there is a lot of condensation that comes out of the Evaporator. Mine keeps making the chi chi sound, water when the drops hit the exhaust.

Glad he figured it out without tasting

Sooooo......it turns out that fluid was from a compromised CV joint boot. Something got caught up there, tore off the brake pad sensor, and ripped the boot which leaked fluid/grease on the floor. Who would have thunk it?
