Four days ago I came out of work and noticed a small, although distressing wet spot under the right side of the truck where the passenger door meets the front fender. The "steady" leak drips about once every ten seconds.

I have checked to interior carpet and there are no wet spots, but there is a small - 1/8" I think - plastic hose that exits the plastic fender wall and then returns to the door frame just below the A-post, what is it? Only about 5" of tube are exposed, haven't yet checked if it is cracked and that's causing the leak.

As I can't hang my head out when driving, I have no idea if it may be a coolant leak that increases under pressure. I have done the "taste test", to no avail. Unsure if the coolant should have the classical ethanol / sweet taste to it.
PLEASE........HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, truck is a 2003 Dodge 2500 with CTD, automatic, 4-door, a/c, power steering, NO mods and is silver in color (I had to throw all that in, When I bought a new mirror face all those questions came up)

Thanks for all your help. Gotta take the girls shopping.

 

Yes it should taste sweet if coolant , is AC on or defrost ? could just be condensation .

 

are you sure its not condensation from the air conditioner or defroster.

That drain should be in that area.

Yeah... I think it's the condensation from the ac.

 

Thanks to everyone for the quick replies. I took the wife and daughter (turned 22 yesterday) shopping and at every stop I checked. It looks to me like condensate or just the remnants of the morning frost.

Thanks again.
