Can anyone help me?
By the way, it is definitely water and not coolant.
2002 Pathfinder a/c leak
2002 Pathfinder a/c leak
Hi. A couple weeks ago, my 2002 Pathfinder started leaking water from under the glove box. I quickly realized it was coming from the A/C unit. I took off the dash and did the steps to unclog the drain, but there was no clog. I also, changed the cabin filters which were very dirty. I thought this fixed the problem, because I drove for a week and a half and not a drop of water, and I put on an avg. of 100 miles per day. Then today, it started sounding funny then started leaking water again.
Can anyone help me?

Re: 2002 Pathfinder a/c leak
Thank you for your reply. But it is definitely not caused by the rain or from outside. I know this because 1.) I tried running a hose over it and 2.) I live in Pittsburgh and it has rained here almost every day since I changed the filters and no leak till today.
The guy at Advance said it was the heating coil. I said to him that everyone that mentions a heating coil says the leak would include antifreeze. He said "I've been working on cars for 38 years, trust me it's the heating coil." He was pretty cocky in his assumption and I would be ok changing the heating coil, but everyone else says antifreeze would be leaking if that was the case. Maybe I'll change it anyway. I wouldn't know where to start though, except that the part is $67. Perhaps it is the blower, but I still get cold air. My biggest problem is this; we just had a baby and I had to take a lot of time off of work and we are so broke, it is hard to pay the rent, otherwise, I would take it to a shop. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated
