Default Now that was a little bit funny.....ish...not

Had to pick the other half up from friends shop, so had to bump up car onto pavement , albeit very gently of course which was lot easier as my Eve is automatic. As I looked back I saw water dripping from underneath about where front passenger seat is but near to middle of car.
Now as I am having problems with water ingress(soon to be sunroof drains being cleaned and unblocked) I am wondering if it it yukky rain water, the water which was leaking out was clear but smelled stale. Did check all fluids just to be S.T.S. and all is ok.... Thoughts please...
Not leaking anything now though.

May be your plenum drain working properly or as stated air con condense...
When there is a lot of moisture in the air... (like now) then you can pull a couple of litres an hour out of the air...

But only with your aircon running. Has it got hot enough anywhere in this country yet this year for use of aircon? (Apart from de-fogging, - which is guaranteed to cause lots of dripping, of course.)

You can have the aircon on permanently, it's the auto option Doesn't have to be warm weather

I haven't used mine yet, but a quick check on purchase suggested it may need re-gassing at least, - hopefully nothing more. But doesn't continual use cost noticeable amounts of fuel and power?
