If its when only when the AC is on then its just condensation from the inside condenser which isn't that big of a deal, there should be a drain to the outside thats probably plugged. If its actually got antifreeze in it its the heater core leaking engine coolant and needs to be replaced.

Usually when a car is shut off after running A/C it pours out the condensation, don't exactly know why but thats how it is on any car I've ever seen.

the drain plug is an L shape black rubber tube that point down located on the firewall introng to the alternatore.. i think you can even pull it off to clean it.

I've tried looking for this, maybe I'm blind or my car is just so dirty I can't find it. Either way, anyone have a picture of this drain they can post?

Thanks!

As a matter of fact I do have a picture.
EDIT: original pic was wrong, this is the right one.

Its right in the middle.

Thanks for the pic!
What would you suggest is the best way to get it unclogged? I'm assuming you can't remove it.
