What is this port, and why is it wet?

[Alex05]

Looking for some help identifying what this port is, and why it seems to be leaking. I'm looking just to the left of the cannister, on the firewall.

A/C drain

But I live in Wisconsin, I haven't used the A/C in at least a month if not longer.

Windshield defroster

Heater core leaking

It is your hvac drain. As said,it could be condensate or coolant. Smell it and hope it is water

Taste it. If he dies from coolant poisoning, then he was not a witch.

It is not coolant colored/feeling, and it's practically clear.

Most likely condensate. (AC compressor runs when the defrost mode is selected.)

Did you taste it? You do not need to swallow.

Coolant has such a tasty flavor, I drink it straight out of a pitcher like it’s kool aid

Hang on, huh? Why would the HVAC loop run the compressor when I choose to send heat to the windshield/footwell?

Is that the defrost setting?

The AC runs in defrost to dehumidify the air.

If it’s sweet and slimy it’s a heater core leak. If it’s wet and tasteless it’s condensate.

You could pull the AC compressor fuse and then drive it around for a couple days and then see if it is still dripping.

Yep this. It’ll produce condensate even in the winter.
