Afternoon guys,

Just moved my car onto the drive in preparation for a clean tomorrow and noticed a trail of water behind the car. There looks to be water leaking from under the car (video below). There was quite a bit of it.

We did have have rain yesterday but it's been clear for at least 24 hours. Air con was on.

Any ideas?

That looks like it could be do with the air conditioning.

I’ve had that before when my air con has been on..

Hot and humid day aircon on, that's condensation from the aircon unit dehumidifying your air as it cools it - perfectly normal.

Thanks guys panic over.

Yeah, that gave me panic on day one of ownership last year. Took the car to my local garage to change the wheels to aftermarket ones and when they lifted it up we could see a puddle of water and drops of water coming from the car. Luckily one of the mechanics had a hunch it was the AC and asked if it was on. It was on and it was deemed it was the AC causing the hot humid air to condensate.

My heart did stop for a minute because I thought I had a faulty car after only 1 day of ownership.
