car is leaking a clear substance, need help!
 

Hey everyone,I purchased a 2009 nismo few days ago, odometer had 15 miles on it, it now has 400. Anyways, after about a 25 minute drive, I get into my garage and turn off the motor. Then I hear a bunch of crackling noise underneath my engine along with a small thudding/clicking sound for about 30 seconds. I then look under my car, and see a clear like substance leaking in the middle of my car, but a tad more to the front. The leaking is coming from one of the pipes that lead into one of the exhausts, I think it is water, the temperature of it is kinda cold, but not freezing. I was using the ac on it as well during the 25 min drive, is this normal?

The crackling sound is just all the metal cooling down. The liquid maybe water condensation from the AC. Taste it! :P

lol the noises are normal the "leaking is water that has condenced on your AC . you are fine.

Sounds like condensation from the A/C. Condensation dripping under your car from A/C usage is a normal occurrence. I have never owned any car with A/C that did not drip condensation underneath the car. The 370Z runs really hot. I believe that the snap/crackle/pop/tick/tick sounds after driving the car are normal. Mine makes these noises all the time after I have turned the ignition off...especially after long drives.

The noise is the car cooling down and is normal, and the water is from the A/C. No worries dude

Hey has anyone mentioned to him that the water could possibly be from the AC?

No, thought never even crossed my mind

:roflpuke2:

i think the stuff said before about the AC, and that sound ur hearing should be on most cars. at least all cars ive owned ticked after shutting off. something about hot metal parts cooling down and *shrinking* at different rates (for different metals).

Was the VDC off?

E

Hahaha... IT IS VDC JUICE!!! SAVE IT! SAVEEEEEEEEE ITTT!

check the fluid, if it's watery it's the ac like everyone said. if it's oily it's a leak.

Its the VTEC

Hey guys, have you seen the clear 370Z yet?

premature ejaculation?
