Leak from underneath of my mondeo MK3

    Noticed some water under my car just after switching it off, so went underneath with my phone to take a look (video is attached). I don't know if this is just a normal water outlet for something like the A/C or something more serious? Had a look in my Haynes manual, and it doesn't have that cylinder that is leaking in my video in the book, so not sure what it is! Any advice is appreciated!

    Catch some of that liquid in a container and see what it is. Fuels and car fluids are coloured and usually smell so you'll know straight away if it isn't water. If water then its likely to be condensate from the AC system or a blocked drain hole from under the windscreen scuttle.

    Has the AC been on recently? If not it's not the AC.

    I mean the AC you need to activate for really cold air, not just the regular fan.

    Yes, the A/C had been on for about 50 minutes just before I turned off the engine.

    I'll try to collect some of the liquid and check what it is.

    Then it's most likely condensation from the AC. It's been asked a few times over the summer and I notice it myself in my own car.
