I am trying to chase down a problem I am having on my cavalier dd (I know this is an ls1 forum, but the jbody forum doesn't seem to have a clear answer to my problem).

I have water dropping from the front driver's side of the car, right next to the bottom of the washer fluid bottle. It's fresh (clear) water, and this started happening two weeks ago, right after I filled my coolant reservoir tank. I also had a hole in my top radiator hose, which was leaking. I replaced the hose thinking this was the problem, but now I still have the clear water leaking from the bottom near the washer bottle underneath the car (right near the bottom of the radiator). I had the cooling system pressure tested and checked for leaks, but no one can find the leak or has an idea of what's causing it.

Any input would be appreciated.

sure its just not condinsation from the condenser?

I think that probably it is; I don't think its normal bc its the first time I am seeing so much of it leaking.

If you have Defrost on in the winter you'll have that. It activates the A/C compressor to dry the air so you don't fog up inside. Also cuts your mileage almost like having A/C on . ~Cole~

I was using the defrost, but it was at the setting without the compressor (one setting is fan only, the other is the ac defrost). I'll have to look at it again on the vent or off setting and see if it makes a difference.

The a/c compressor will be on if its on the defrost setting.

If it's humid its condensation from the a/c. You want to see water you should see the rivers my truck is leaving about now sitting still with the a/c running. I would not worry about it unless you put tap water into the coolant overflow bottle. If you did the overflow bottle may be developing a crack.
