My mum has a toyota avensis with air conditioning.
It is leaking water from underneath somewhere near the gearbox but the header tank for the coolant system is not looking to be going down.
I'm not an expert on air conditioning in cars but could it simply be the condensation from the air con and not a leak at all?

i think youve answered your own question. i rekon its the condensed water that comes off the air con unit cos its soo cold.
mine drips sometimes but only on a sweltering day,if ive been usin it all day (hope im right cos otherwise mines fooked too!)

As well as reducing the temp of the cabin air, a/c removes water vapour from the air. It's the humidity that can make a hot day unbearable. The water you are seeing is a sign that there is more water in the air and the a/c is doing its job by removing it and dumping it overboard.
