Asked on October 22, 2011

I have a chevy s10 v6 4wd and every so often there is a puddle of what seems to be water under right side

The puddle is just left of the front right wheel, i think the expansion tank and rad are above it but when i check them they are both pretty much full. I felt the water and it seems like just water, no anti freeze mixture. Any idea where the leak could be coming from?

That's the condensation from running the air conditioner. It drips into a pan under the dash and through a rubber tube onto the ground. You have a problem when that DOESN'T happen. Then you'll have water on the right front floor. Sometimes debris clogs that drain tube. Clearing it is usually only a matter of squeezing the tube or removing it to poke a pencil into the plastic spout.
