Hopefully someone will have an answer to this one.

I have a 2000 S type V6 3.0
Water I noticed was dripping from underneath the car
​​​​​​near the catalytic converter , on the tight hand side of the car. It was coming from under the heat shield material on the bottom chassis rail. I partially tore open the material as you can see in the pic where the arrow points and it started to driv a bit faster.
I thought it may have been from the previous nights rainfall, or is it the famed hidden AC evaporator drain tubes under the heatsheilds? The heatsheild around the top of the transmission tunnel is bolted on, but towards the lower end it is glued on which seems unusual.

I only noticed it on one side of the car, so I am wondering if it's rainwater or AC water?

Regards
Peter

 

You can turn off the AC and that will stop the condensate? That will tell you quickly if it's the AC or not?
