Coolant Leak?

I saw some puddles underneath the car and it looked to be dripping in two places but it appeared that the water traveled down one of the lines to the other side of my car. It has stopped dripping and I guessed it was water because it had no smell or color. It has been very hot here and a little humid so I have been running my car's air conditioner. Could this be a normal part of the overflow? I was not getting a coolant low light nor was the car overheating at all.

Re: Coolant Leak?

It could be you air conditioner. Keep a check on your coolant If it seems to be getting low for no apparent reason i would investage it it more. But i think it was just the AC which is fine

Re: Re: Coolant Leak?

Thanks for the reply. It might be low but I checked for leaks today and had no drops on the ground that I could see. I suspect it could have been from the windshield wiper fluid since I did run it yesterday to clean my windshield. The air conditioner is a possibility though as it has been both hot and humid here. Does the air condioner have an overflow valve or some kind of drainage system?

BTW, how does one ad coolant to the air conditioner for a '95 Beretta? I have tried to read the manual but I have no idea where you add the coolant for the air conditioner? Is it on top somewhere underneath the hood?

Re: Coolant Leak?

You don't add coolant to the ac you add Freon, not really sure where that is added at. And if has been hot and humid there that is diffently your probably then. You and cold air cooling down the pipes and where it is hot it is condesating causing it to get moist.

You mentioned coolant and I consider freon to be that for air conditioners. I checked my car yesterday and there was no drops on the ground so I guess everything is ok.
