Fox Accumulator leaking

EZ123 · May 17, 2019

So as I was having fun and burning rubber till my little hearts content I stopped to find out am leaking water and and when I open the hood and have my brother floor it some more it seams to be coming out of the accumulator but ac seams to still work fine. Am new to cars so forgive me if for all and any ignorant or flat out stupid questions.

There is a drain below the accumulator on the fire wall for the ac, kinda hard to see but if the water is clear and cool then you have no worries.

When the heater core blows, coolant also leaks out of the ac accumulator weep hole.

If the ac system leaks, it escapes as a gas not a liquid. When it's humid though, water condensation will drip out.

So it's either coolant or condensation

I have been told it also leaks in the cabin

So it's either coolant or condensation

I was also told that if the core blew it would leak on the inside as well right ? Or can it blow with out leaking inside

It could leak in the car, just feel the carpet under the heater box.
Also turn on the heat and defrost, the moisture from a leak will seriously fog up your windshield.

Would any one have a diagram or pic of where its located all ive managed to do so far is scrape up my hand feeling around for it

Here’s a pic of the drain. My AC and smog are gone, so it’s easy to see here, but this should get you in the right spot.

Good lord it took me a long time to find this picture from when i redid my hvac box.

you can see the drain tube below the inlet of the ac condenser.
