    I've noticed some liquid dripping up front on the passenger side lately. I followed the wet (Hey, its a lifestyle choice!) and found it starts at the AC line right next to the alternator. I see others having the condensation drip question, but really what vehicle doesn't do this... except I haven't turned the AC on* in months.

    *I have to admit, I do have the interior vent control set to the Windshield/Footwell combo. I'm guessing that is actually "blind" turning on the AC?

    Should I ever think about this again? Is it worth trying to re-route the water path so it drips straight to the ground when not in motion?


    (For anyone confused by the picture... I've got the 4 banger)
