Why Does My Car AC Drip

January 10, 2023

WHY DOES MY CAR’S AC DRIP?

Why does my car’s AC drip? AC problems can come unexpectedly. Sometimes, you will notice your AC is not blowing cold air. Other times you may see leaks. Leaks on your floor mats can sometimes mean AC malfunctions. This commonly depends on how often it occurs and how much leaks.

Excess moisture around your AC pipes can cause your AC system to drip water. This issue commonly causes spotting wet areas on your front passenger side floor mats. In this hot Chico weather, finding small spots of water on your floor mats will, most likely, be caused by condensation.

Also, when winter weather kicks in, it is usual that your AC system may do the same thing, leak small amounts of water. This happens because the coil could potentially freeze and cause the water to leak out. If the problem keeps occurring for more than a day or two, it may be time to call Tedious Repairs and have it checked out!

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF MY CAR AC DRIPPING?

There are a few potential factors in car ACs drip. However, the common reasons for AC to drop are:

  • Clogged evaporator drains  can cause some damage. Excessive amounts of loose dirt and debris can cause clogs in the evaporator system, leading to your AC system malfunctioning.
  • Damaged seals  are another potential cause of ac leaks. Whether you have plastic or rubber seals, they will eventually get worn out. Once they are worn out and are not replaced, they will cause your ac to drip.
  • A corroded evaporator core  will cause AC malfunctions. Also, when your vehicle’s evaporator core develops excessive amounts of rust, it will start to leak.

THE DINING EVENT OF THE SEASON We may be auto mechanics, but we like great food just like everyone else. What, you thought we survive on motor oil or something? That’s weird. We hardly drink the stuff. You being weird aside, one of our favorite local events in Chico is the Fork in the Road food truck gathering. This is a big event where many of Chico’s best food trucks gather in one place and make it easy for everyone to taste a bit of everything. If you’re a taco truck fan, this is the place for you; not just for tacos, you can try new stuff too!
