Hello,  I need you all to get your collective brains round this.

   I have just changed the HBV on my Omega, ran the engine to test all was ok, when I noticed some water dripping (quite quickly) from under the car towards back of engine.  I checked the HBV clamps, all ok no leaks, no issues put a little too much in expansion tank when topped up. Other than that no issues

On investigation under the car the dripping is coming from two drain tubes, One is next to the gear selector and the other is directly opposite on other side of gearbox (auto), the dripping is warm water.  Checked for warning lights, nothing (very chilly in car, switched off air con).  Got back under car dripping slowed, switched air con back on dripping got faster.  So issue appears to be air con related.

Now, I know that under normal working air con will produce excess water, that needs to go some where.  And previously I have notice a light dripping under car.  However I have never seen it drip so much, is this because the weather is so hot and the air con is having to work harder??       

Any reassurance would be gratefully received

Yup.

If its coming from the AC drip tubes, its AC condensate. Expect lots in this heat and humidity.

Yep. Ac drains. Quite normal.



Well, not on mine atm.
