hi all,, need some HELP!!!


my ac condenser seems to be leaking into the footwell, ive read that the condenser drain pipe gets clogged from time to time,, make sense with all the mud ive been going through

has anyone had issues like this ? also does anyone know where the drain pipes are located under the car, i cant seem to find them

unfortunately when i run the AC no water comes out the bottom ( only from the footwells)

thanks again for the help everyone

if it is an early model the drain should be visible from under the vehicle on the passenger side. Piece of whipper snipper string cleans them out nicely. Don't use wire or anything hard.

Later models may have drain above gear box

The drain on a Puma is located above gearbox at the bell housing end.

Pedant time!

It's the evaporator that is inside the cabin with a condensate pan and drain below it.

The condenser is mounted in front of the radiator. [emoji6]

Evaporator = heat absorption (cooling coil)
Condenser = heat rejection


Drain blockage is generally from dust and algae growth.
Dust collects on the evap and drains into the pan and drain with the condensate.
And eventually builds up with algae, blocking the drain
