Unhappy 2015 V40 at 12k kms, some leak in unidentified pipe

Hello,

I wish my first post was not about a problem and asking for help, but that's the case unfortunately.

Anyhow brand new Volvo V40 D2 auto, after using about 12000 kilometers I checked the engine compartment and realized a possible leak in a pipe in the from right side of the engine.

I'd appreciate if anyone can identify the pipe, what kind of fluid goes through it and if the thing I see is indeed caused by some leak.

Thanks in advance,
Regards

Those are AC lines. You are likely seeing condensation.

Thank you ES6T.

So I assume there's nothing to be worried about.

How may I clean that condensation ? Water will do or do I need chemicals?

Thanks & Regards

It's just water, there is nothing you need to do. If it was oily, you might have an AC leak.
