Hi I have a June 2016 Peugeot 308. 1.6 hdi (blue hdi). There is water leaking from under the car wear the drivers seat is. Can't think why have no warning displayed. But ac was running full blast. Turned ac off and it seems to have stopped but I'm not sure if it was the ac that caused it. Does any one have a clue what it could be? If someone knows the answer it will save a trip to Peugeot and leaving it with them etc etc.

Blocked drain pipe from heater box allowing condensate water from A/C to leak into car as apposed to via drain onto road

Am I right in saying the water is coming from under the car not the seat? .If its under the car it is normal

 

[Sampochin]

It's leaking onto the road out the bottom of the car. Once the car warmed up it seemed to stop. So it's normal then? That's a huge relief. Plenty of warranty left it's only done 3000 miles but it's just hassle getting it checked over for what seemed like a simple answer. Thanks a lot both of you.

Where do I top up the water that the ac is draining?

You don't It's moisture from the air that has been cooled then condensed back into water

 

[Blow By Blow]

The water draining off is a by product of running the A/C on a humid day

As advised above what you are seeing is an expected function of the A/C system.
A drain of condensation from the moisture of the humid, now conditioned air.
Have a look in the owner's handbook you might see a reference to it there.
No reason to consult the garage.

I'm joking I'll have a look to see my other question may have already been answered!
