Large amount of water draining after I park

[tkasser]

Over the last few days, every time I park my X I'm getting a large pool of water underneath it. I'm assuming it's the a/c draining by why so much all of a sudden?

Anyone else experience this?

Can't be, with the temps in the 40/50s?. Where is it? If it is near the front, it is likely your water pump.

It's coming from more towards the center of the car,'near the center resonator. It's definitely water and not coolant. I'll post a pic later.

Here is the pic. You can see the start of the wet spot on the ground.

No idea why the pic posted upside down?

Why not? If the auto climate control is set to defrost mode, the A/C will run regardless of temperature settings. In this case, the A/C is being used as a dehumidifier, not temperature control.

Fair point. I have mine off once the temps no longer warrant AC. So, I never have any condensation once it gets cooler but I would not call the summer drainage a "large amount". This does look like condensation.....

both of my x5's leave water puddles underneath them after I park them and the AC has been on.

This is a pretty large puddle.
Tonight the check coolant light came on. Now I'm thinking maybe it is the water pump. I just replaced the radiator and expansion tank 2 months ago.

If it is the water pump, can I drive it 120 miles to get home if I put coolant in it?
