Wierd leak

[JrStroker]

My 08 job 2 F250 has developed a odd leak on the passenger side. Its right behind the front passenger side wheel. Leaves a wet spot for a foot to two foot wide. Does it every time I drive it. I tracked it down, seems to be coming from a metal hose that comes out of the firewall. It has two metal hoses above it coming out of the fire wall also. Its right above the passenger manifold and near the downpipe.
It only started happening a little while after i got my headstuds in, egr deleted, and coolant flushed. Replaced with motorcraft gold. Its a real clear liquid, doesnt smell like coolant. Just water. Its confusing the hell out of me. My radiator does leak, but that's from the front right. So its not that. I'd just like to know what it is.

BTW the pipe has nothing coming out of it. it just ends and is open.

Turn off the AC and see if it goes away.. Then like magic it will happen again
when you use the AC..

The puddles those leave in the TX summers..

I third a.c. Lol does it drip onto the 3 link????

 

[JrStroker]

How can it be a/c when I don't run the a/c. I run the heater on defrost.
It drips onto the frame it looks like, then drips off that onto the 3 link, then the ground.

Defrost runs the AC at the same time in most vehicles.

 

[JrStroker]

Defrost on heat and a/c? How does that work?

They use the evaporator to dehumidify the air prior to being heated.

I didn't know that. That's wild.


So all it is, is water from the evaporate? Well awesome. Thanks everyone.

Hey now, it was chilly here last week. Now this week is pretty good.

The point of the ac and defroster is so that the air being blowin on the windshield doesn't have water vapor it it so it won't frost or dog the glass on the inside
