Default Excessive (?) condensation/dripping

Hey again....

I've noticed lately that my '94 ES has been dripping what seems to me to be an excessive amount of water after parking it. It's a serious drip that forms a good footlong wet spot on my slanted driveway. Drips for several minutes.

I run with the auto climate on all the time.

I know it's not coolant or fluid since no stain on the driveway.

Is this something I should be concerned about?

Recent work done:
new O2 sensor
new water pump
new timing belt
coolant flush
ps flush
trans flush

Thanks!

In almost every case, you will find that this is simply condensate (water), from running your air conditioner. If the fluid is clear, touch it and smell for any strong odor. If none, it is most likely just water.

If you run with the auto on, then the climate control system is doing what it is supposed to do.
It is pulling the humidity out of the cabin air, condensing it and allowing it to run off as liquid water.

It must be getting warmer and more humid/moist where you live.

Yah, I'm in So California....

I figured that's what it was, but it seemed to be an awful lot of moisture so I wanted to be sure!


Thanks for the quick replies all!
