Water dripping under engine - Is it the water pump?

I have what appears to be a clear fluid dripping from the passenger side under my engine in a 2005 Santa Fe - 4 cylinder manual.

    What if the A/C was not on?

  • hatedishes May 02, 2009

    Sorry, I find this a bit confusing is the water pump on the passanger side of the engine?

If the car has a/c this is normal as this is how the a/c system gets rid off the humidity(WATER)that it takes out of the air in the car. hope this helps, if not get back to me. please rate my fix as i strive to be the best Thanks Ray

    if the water is clear it is probably not anti-freeze also the car should show signs of overheating or at least temp gauge should be higher, probably water from a/c could be from defroster or old water from the last time you used it. i hope this clarifies my answer. Thanks Ray

Hi! there,
there are two possible eithe water on radiator or brake fluid or master cylinder,if water check a break hole in your radiator unit or tighten clamping radiator hose.if brake fluid check fitting connection on master cylinder,observed your brake pedal function, really hard if break was loose
when driving,check break hose leakage if hose break replace at once, check also gasket loosening have tighten bolts to fit vibration on engine sometime loosening fitting and clamps.
maybe not on engine crack maybe you also
on this on water pump side.

Leaking engine coolant from bottom of engine front passenger side

Probably a water pump seal unfortunately. Pressurize the system, with the engine off, use a mirror to look under the water pump pulley to see if any fluid is dripping from the water pump seal weep hole.
If it is, change the water pump.
Good luck, let me know.
Regards,
