    Thanks for the input, was just at dealer for 5K Toyota Care, and totally blanked on it. I'm sure it's just water too but don't hurt to point it out.

    If it has gotten cold, close to freezing or freezing in your area, it could just be condensation dripping from a metal surface underneath. My wife's car sits outside, and now that the nights get below freezing, we see condensation along the driveway from under her car.

    Nope agreed, definitely point it out. You might also want to take one of those disposable aluminum cookie sheets under the car and let whatever it is drip onto it. A lot easier to tell what it is if it's not being absorbed by your driveway.

    I just logged in to reply to my thread from a short bit ago - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/how-much-water-is-a-concerning-amount-of-water.739571/

    Since I turned off both the AC & de-fog, the water has decreased... previously I only turned off AC. Of course I've been chained to the desk for weeks on end now and haven't driven more than 8 miles in a trip so... fingers crossed that's all it is..:fingerscrossed: Definitely update if you find out otherwise so I can make an appointment pronto :)

    It's water from something. My truck dumped a bunch brand new in the driveway on a 50 degree day. Used my defroster for like 30 seconds but auto climate the 30 mile drive back. Ran it through the chops test and confirmed it was water.

    I just came across this thread but wanted to add on that my truck is dripping like this on the passenger side while visiting Florida from the Northeast. It's more obvious now than back home, I guess because it's sooo hot down here. Is there any significant risk to the frame if you don't do the drip mod?

    It's because it's so humid down there. As for the question about the frame, I'll ask the question: does your frame get wet when it rains?

    The AC extension mod is very easy, just knocked it out in 20 minutes today (went a little extra and fully zip tied it and ran it all the way down to/past an exhaust hanger). You can find a video on youtube how to do it, my grandmother could have knocked it out, honestly.
