    so lately my car has been dripping on the passenger side under the engine, a little bit further back than the oil filter. i can't see exactly where it is coming from. I thought it was my A/C and didn't think anything of it. Well, lately i haven't been using my A/C and it is still dripping everytime i get back from a drive. It appears to be clear like water.

    Also... the other day I was wiring a new fuse, and was feeling behind my glove box to see where I could run the wire. The panel behind the glove box was wet. I removed it, and the A/C motor is dripping (i think that is what it is). So, to clarify it is dripping under the engine, as well as inside the cab.

    I have a 99 Grand Prix GTP.

    Can someone tell me what might be wrong and help me find a diagnosis/solution. I would greately appreciate it. Thank you.

    Have you checked your fluids? You could have 2 different leaks Because the leak behind the box could be that the weather stripping under the windshield wiper panel moved and is letting rain water get into your cabin that was the problem on my 2000 GT and was wetting the floor on the passenger side and eventually ruined my airbag module

    my fluids are all fine, which are you talking about in particular? the liquid under car was clear. i reached my hand up and felt water around the motor seal. is that where the rain would come through? where can i check to see if the weather stripping is moved, i definitely think this might be the problem. the car was sitting for a while, and there was a lot of debris clogging up a lot of the drains. does the plastic part pop up under the wipers?

    Do you have the hvac control set on defrost? That'll run the ac compressor.

    What do you have your hvac controls set to blow out of?

    it is a 99, it has the screen, when it is off nothing is selected. when it turns on it is "auto" which goes to 'head only'. to change it you pick mode. I always do auto and then shut it off, so i suppose to answer your question, it would be 'head only' if it saves my previous request.
