I don't know about East Coast humidity, but when it is hot and humid around here and I run the AC on the P-car it leaves pretty big puddles, mid car, on the garage floor.
Leading evidence: 'Run ac' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check are located in the frunk' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

The most important ones to check are located in the frunk under the plastic covers next to the battery.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So I've been driving my 911 for couple weeks now. My coolant levels stay same, but multiple times when I've parked my car, I've seen small water puddles in the front side of the car. The amount is quite extensive. Water doesn't taste like anything, and once when it happened, i drove around a while with AC off, and in the next place I parked I didn't see any water.
Is 996 just condensing more water than other cars, and since there isn't exhaust on the frontside of the car also leaking it on the ground? (at least my brothers Audi 80 cabrio has a little bowl on the on top of exhaust, where most of the condensed water drops to evaporate).
It's been quite humid and rainy here for now, so it could also be some water trapped inside the car. Any idea where that could be?
Agree. I don't know about East Coast humidity, but when it is hot and humid around here and I run the AC on the P-car it leaves pretty big puddles, mid car, on the garage floor. First time I noticed it I freaked out as well. BTW the RAV4 does the same in similar conditions. I find it is more fun to roll the windows down, leave AC off and enjoy the sound with the extra acceleration! But, that's just me.
All cars that have AC produce condensate. Depending on the humidity, they sometimes leave a lot of condensate/water on the ground when you park or are stopped at a traffic light. Here the humidity is high and large pools of water are under the car. The most important thing is where under the car the water is, i.e., back left side (drivers side in US) means the coolant expansion tank or cap is leaking, front left or front right, radiator or radiator hose, middle of car right side under the passenger area is where the HVAC condensate drains.
A common maintenance item is to make sure all of the drains are clear and draining properly. The most important ones to check are located in the frunk under the plastic covers next to the battery. For a coupe here are the drain locations:
Great advice about cleaning your drains and while you are there, remove the battery and the battery tray and give that whole area a leaf blower treatment.
Not to be picky, but the correct answer is none.
It's the evaporator that produces condensate. ;-)
...and what you are saying sounds normal. The humidity has be pretty heavy duty this year.
I was under there disconnecting the batter to fix my sensitive horn. I had a heck of a time trying to reach my fat finger into that one drain in an effort to retrieve a dried up leave. I merely succeeded in pushing the leaf deep into the drain.
Guess I need to pour some Drain-O down there now!
Try a shop vac to suck it out, or a blast of compressed air probably will blow it all the way out. On my air compressor I have a blast tool that I can attach a length of rubber hose so I can bend and reach into places like drain holes. Makes it simple.
