I have recently purchased a new 2002 9-5 Areo and am very pleased with the car. However, I have noticed that, in addition to the condensation which normally drips when the A/C is running, I get condensation dripping almost immediatly upon startup. That is, I start the car, turn it around in the drive and pull away. Looking back I see that a considerable amount of water has been left on the driveway where I have driven. I'm sure that it is water and not any other fluid. I was just curious if this was normal. My driveway slopes a good deal, so, I suppose, it's possible that the water is collecting somewhere in the undercarriage as I pull in and stop and then falls free later as I turn around and leave. Still, it seems odd and I am concerned that it may be a source of trouble in the future as a potential rust hazzard. Any thoughts? Dave -- Dave Finnegan davenopsamnegan.com
