Default question....with pics....

Noticed this kind of wierd thing happening the other day, not sure whats goin on. Where i have circled there, coming out of that hose, which i believe has something to do with the heat control inside the car is doing wierd things. Lately if i turn the heat on high, it will push air out of that hose and a liquid of somesort also comes out? Not sure what it is, the liquid seems to be clear? Any idea what that is and why something like this would happen. If i shut the heat off then it stops, but when i turn it on it does this?

That's the condensate drain for the a/c system. But I see yours is diconnected. Also, coolant will come out of there if the heater core is bad but it won't be clear fluid.

ya i just painted them

Ya the ac is gone from this car, so is this hose hooked up to anything? Is it linked directly to the heater core?

was it without AC from the factory?

maybe if someone removed the ac, they removed that hose.

no it was with ac, but the previous owner took it out. I dont think it should be anyhting to be worried about, i think its just water? But should it be blowing air out?

Yes some air will blow out. It's directly connected to the heater box. There shouldn't be liquid coming out of it though. Maybe there is a leak from the windsheild or cowling allowing the water inside.

Well if it were leaking, itd be coolant coming out correct? So if i dont seem be be loosing coolant overall then it wont be leaking, so ill just keep my eye on the level of coolant.
