Dripping water?

[lmwong]

What are these drainage pipes on both sides of the under car, behind the front wheel wells. They drip water (I think), leaving pretty big puddles in my garage. They leave water marks when dry. It has not been raining BTW.

A/C drains. Perfectly normal

Cool. I’ve just not had this much drip (puddles!) from my other cars. It literally pools and finds the downward path toward my garage door and collects there.

Sounds like it might be excessive for the A/C, but possibly, and on both sides of the vehicle? You mentioned no rain, but possibly condensation? If your LC has one, I believe the sunroof has drains on both sides?

 

[Guest675]

I have those same drains for the A/C, but I don't have a sunroof- so no sunroof drains.

Water from washing windshield also has an apparent pathway down to just behind the front tire. Haven't traced it, but after cleaning windows at the gas station it always finds its way to the ground.

My '22 4Runner leaks water excessively as well. It's normal and a good thing. Toyota has routed the water away from the vehicle like downspouts on your house.

Jeep Cherokees of old had rain gutters on them which never drained. As a result, everything except the tires and the windshield rusted out in a few years.

I’m glad this is a normal good thing for the car. Not so much for my garage floors. It’s leaving watermarks I’d rather not have.

Make some drip pans out of cut in half plastic milk jugs

Throw some dirt on the floor. Eventually you'll be able go mudding without leaving your garage.

I thought I saw a picture around here that the drain tube is accessible. If so, you can rig up an overflow, which is open to atmosphere so it can evaporate, no different than the catch chambers on mechanical water pumps.
