The other night, I ran over some large debris on the highway that caused water leakage from the undercarriage. I have a 2005 Lexus ES 330 and the leak is coming out from the opening along the tip of a small rubber hose/plug attached to a hugh metal container. The rubber plug is located midway behind the front tires which can be seen towards the right front passenger side. The hose/plug does not look like it has been damaged.
It seemed to drip a lot of water.
Appreciate the help.

If your car is leaking "water" it's probably the condensation from the AC... Make sure it is water and not coolant...

If it is a clear non-oily liquid then it is AC condensation....

If it is red or green fluid then it is coolant.

Does this happen when the a/c is NOT turned on?

I don't believe the a/c was turned on, it was a chilly night. The fluid was clear and non oily.

Hmm... Now that you say the a/c is turned off it kinda scares me into thinking something might be leaking other then a/c condensation...

Do you have a close mechanic you know that can lift the car and check it for you?

I would say take it to a dealer but there gonna charge you a diagnostic fee around 100 bucks which is not cool.

taste it and see if it's water or coolant.


A/C condensation because the A/C was on, or sunroof/chassis vent plugs were jarred of debris letting the stored water out

Don't know any reliable mechanics. The mechanic we usually used sold the business and now it's a tint/alarm shop.
I believe it was water when I felt it last night and it had no smell to it.
I just took a look and there seems to be no water dripping anymore.
Could it have been a/c all along?

Just wanted to thank everyone for their help and quick response to my post.
