Its Friday night and I just went out to my garage and started up my mustang so I could pin point where the a/c drip leak was occuring. Because I wanted to fix it so that I wouldnt run the rish of damaging my passenger side header. So I started the car and ran the a/c for a while and when I shut it off- my shop light slid under my car so I went down on the ground to get it and I noticed a black mark by the weld on the passenger side pipe before the muffler. I then noticed water dripping out of where the black mark is. Now I know when you run the a/c and-or heat water drips out the end of the pipes as ive heard that they do on most fords, but to cause a hose in the weld before the muffler?? I don't know whats happening- or what could be causing this??
I also noticed that their were 2 very small puddles underneith each exhaust tip, and it had to apparent smell to it, except that I didnt feel like regular water but in away almost lubercated- cooliant perhaps?? I dont know- not sure if im thinking to much into this- but its freaking me out...
Was the weld weak? Is there water in my engine? Is something backed up?
ALSO SHOULD I PATCH THE HOLE??
Any ideas and help would be greatly appreciated!!
I have no idea if this has anything to do with whats going on, but my cooliant is near the low mark in the tank. I use synthetic oil. I also use fuel & carb cleaner every 2nd time I fill up.
Thanks.
