96 2.0 Unknown fluid leaking into car - RichTbuscuit

Hi,
I've got a auto 406 with A/C that is leaking from somewhere into the passenger footwell. the water tastes like it's got anti freeze in it so does that mean the heater matrix is leaking or could it be the A/C?

Thanks

If it tastes like antifreeze then it is antifreeze. Sorry, it's the heater matrix by the sound of it. Check the engine coolant level for confirmation.

The only way air-con will deposite water into the car is if a drain under the bonnet is blocked, but that will be "stale" water with no antifreeze in it.

Try and refrain from tasting antifreeze as it's poisonous.
