Water Leak from Passenger Side Engine Bay?

[pbbigmac2]

Hi!

On a 400 mile road trip, wife mentioned passenger side floorboard is very hot. Other than exhaust routing that way couldn’t find anything. However, I did notice significant water dripping that looks like it’s coming from this metal canister in the engine bay with piping that routes into the cabin.

Anything to be concerned about? Coolant temp stays at a steady 210 always.

That's your AC receiver/dryer.... Pretty normal for it to be covered in very cold condensation, and dripping onto the ground. That's just the moisture from the air condensing on the outside of it.

Exhaust is routed under the passenger side floorboards.... So I imagine in a hot climate in stop and go traffic, that side of the floor should be a bit warmer.

That wet location on frame is also where the AC evaporator drain would drip, but shouldn't be hot.
But there shouldn't be a stream from the AC dryer connection on firewall!

Check the heater hose connections to the right of it.
Maybe the heater connections are leaking and dripping along the firewall?
Possible that coolant is leaking/pooling into the HVAC case?

Did you smell any coolant? Check the coolant level?
Factory temp gauge is buffered to read 210 over a range.. 195-225 according to AI..
