water leaking
I have this little elbow pipe that is dripping water after a drive. It's located in the engine compartment on the passenger side. It comes out of the firewall. It's not connected to anything. I have not used the AC so I wouldn't think it has anything to do with that. What is this and is it suppose to be connected to something?
Thanks

That little elbow pipe is the A/C drain. It isn't suppose to be connected to anything.
If it is leaking - check to see if it is AntiFreeze. Could be your heater core has sprung a leak.. If you turn on your defogger - does your windshield fog up. Does it smell sweet? These are all symptoms of a bad heater core

It's not antifreeze, and the defroster does not fog up the windshield. It's only water coming out of it so there is no smell/taste to it. glad to know there's not suppose to be anything connected to it though.

If I'm not mistaken - turning on the defrost/defogger - automatically turns on the A/C compressor - which will pull humidity out of the air - which will cause water to drain out of that tube..
