Excessive drip from drain pipe
I have an excessive drip from the front passenger side of the vehicle (under the car) and a little drip from the driver's side. The fluid is clear and odorless, so I'm assuming it's water. Drove through a little rain yesterday, but none today. Just noticed the water dripping on the garage floor after driving 50+ miles today. It seems like it's the A/C drain hose. Oh yeah, A/C temps have been set around 75 or so.

Any ideas?

From what I understand, it does not drain well when moving. So when you stop... Flush.
Mine was the same. Thought I had a leak also.

You are leaking plutonium. Flux capacitor issue. I would reach out to Doc Brown.

Humid days will make it look like the entire valley pan gasket has blown. BMW condenser is a squirter
