98 Accord: Water dripping in front of front drivers tire: Source?    (Score: 1, Normal) 05-21-2012 16:47

Hi all. I have a 1998 Accord, 6-cyl, auto, w/ moon roof. Recently I have noticed clear water dripping from just in front of the drivers side front tire. Just forward of the wheel well. I am used to seeing AC condensate dripping, but this is on the wrong side... right? Also, i noticed it was still dripping two days after I had last driven the car. It has not rained in several weeks. What could be partially clogged allowing a sloooooow drain? The moon roof does not drain there.. Right? Where does the fresh air vent drain? So far this has not developed into any other issue, just weird. It is a very slow drip. Just enough to dampen the concrete.

Thanks.

It could be a leaking washer fluid reservoir... I think it's located in that area.

It could be the moonroof. At least on my Prelude, it has drains on all four corners. You can test that by opening the roof and pouring water into the channels. (You can probably see the actual drain holes on all four corners of the channels.) Then watch where it comes out front and rear. But if it hasn't rained in weeks, then that's not likely it, I guess. As the other poster said, it could be the washer fluid reservoir.
