Want to make sure what's the problem of this car.?

Question

I found a second-hand car which is TOYOTA. But this morning, after I test driving this car, I found there was wet under the right front seat, especially on the back of that plastic floormap,but the other places is dry,just under the right front seat's floormap. We turn on the AC all the time while driving, is that the reason to cause the wet of that place?Or something else was wrong?
So far, I thought this car will be a good deal, but before I make clearly about this question, I can't make a dicision.

Answer 1

Rosemary that water is air conditioning condensation. its supposed to drip out of the motor compartment in a rubber spout coming out near to where the cooling fins are located inside the car ,as the humidity is picked up, the droplets flow into a pan under the evaporation compartment. this rubber tube is stopped up .find it and pinch off the end of it and a stream of water will burst forth, this should cure the problema until the next time she gets plugged up.comprende senorita?

Answer 2

Yes, it sounds like your A/C condensate (water) drain line is plugged up which should be easy to fix. If it only happens when it rains, then your front windshield could be leaking. If it only happens when the car's real hot and you have the heater on, then you'd have a coolant (antifreeze) smell and have a slimy substance on the inside of your windshield.

Answer 3

maximum all mufflers have a small weep hollow on the bottom to allow drainage of condensation and or for the time of a rain hurricane your motor vehicle internet sites low in a puddle or run by water, after the water subsides the extra water in muffler can drain also. sounds like you would have a clogged catalytic convertor yet like the first answer this is basically one among many possibilities

Answer 4

Maybe the condensation from the A/C isn't draining properly. It has to go somewhere. If it can't get out of the car, it will drain onto the floor. That is only a possibility, though. To find out what it is, you need to take it to a mechanic.

Answer 5

This sounds like a bad heater core which is mounted under the dash. Check you radiator coolant frequently until you get it replaced.

Answer 6

If the water smells like antifreeze, it's a bad heater core and you shouldn't buy it. If it's pure water, the drain from the air conditioner is clogged.

Answer 7

its either the heater core or condensation. is your coolant low, is it green , does the window fog up when defrost is on-its the heater core. also try gently putting a close hanger up the tube to unclog it. just dont puncture the evaporator or core

Answer 8

i believe you have a bad heater core and that is the cause of the wetness. not sure how much it cost to fix according to how easy to get to.

Answer 9

Any little leak is only going to get bigger.

It may be a heater core that is leaking.

Personaly, I'd pass on it.
