If you notice your car leaking water, it’s typically not a sign of a serious issue. The car’s air conditioning system creates condensation whenever activated, so it’s normal to see small puddles of water near the back of the engine compartment. Water near the tailpipe is typically exhaust condensation. This will go away once your muffler warms up. However, there can be more serious issues associated with leaking fluids. Feel free to stop by the service center at Auffenberg Mazda near Fairview for a quick inspection.
Water leaking from under car? Follow these steps to find where it’s coming from:
If you notice your car leaking and the cause of leak is something other than condensation, make the trip to our Auffenberg Mazda service center near Fairview for one of our technicians to take a look.
As mentioned above, if you place a piece of paper under your vehicle and the leaking fluid isn’t clear, it isn’t water. This means it could be something more serious. Follow this guide to find out what the problem is, then schedule service at Auffenberg Mazda:
If it is water leaking from your car, there could be a range of causes, but the water pump in your car is one of the most common. If anything is wrong with your vehicle, driving anywhere other than a service center is often a bad idea. That’s not to say that the car won’t move, but if your car is leaking water from the water pump, its ability to successfully cool the engine reduces and you run the risk of overheating your engine.
