Exclamation Dripping water underside XC90

All,

Apologies if there's a thread for this, fairly certain there will be. Newly purchased XC 90 2016. Noted today dripping water (99% certain it's only water) from either side of the car underneath around the back of where the engine is, both sides, fairly constant dripping that, once parked stops after half an hour or so. From looking online fairly certain it's likely to be the AC condenser, but new car and just marginally concerned.

Any help/advice appreciated.

you probably mean the AC evaporator (the part inside the dash that chills the cabin air) which ices up when the AC is running hard. Stop the car, ice melts and drips down through drain tubes. Just make sure those tubes aren't clogged as that water needs a place to go.

Thanks for the advice - are those tubes on both sides of the car?
