Ah yes, the old "AC leaking water" trick

[MLMike25]

Yes, but what if my car has a LOT of condensation/leakage?


For example, when I get out of my car and close my door (after driving with the AC on), I hear a "sheeesh" (sounds like air being released) when the door is slammed. For the longest, I wondered what that was until I discovered that its water hitting the ground. So, it seems that I have more condensation/leakage than normal. Is THAT normal?

If you just discovered the concept of water dripping underneath a car that has had the a/c running...then how do you know what a "normal" amount of water would be? That "sheeesh"...or "sizzle" sound you hear is totally normal. How big (diameter) of a puddle do you have under the car?
