I have a 2008 LR3 and noticed a water puddle on the garage floor this morning when I pulled out for work. It had not rained and was a dry drive home. I looked more closely at the puddle and it appeared to simply be water. No smell or no color.

I'm trying to determine where it may have come from, and I was curious about the air suspension compressor or struts. Does this system automatically purge water? Is there a water separator or drain? Other ideas or things to check are appreciated! Thanks.

 

Water should be AC drain, but you don’t mention the location.

Was the Ac running?

 

I am in Minnesota and no the air was not on. Still pretty chilly.

I do lower the suspension to access height when pulling into the garage, so that is what my thought process was regarding the compressor. Thinking that there is maybe a water purge from the air tank or something?

 

EAS uses an air dryer, no water should be in system.

You're absolutely sure it is water? You crawled under the car and looked around for drip origin?

 

Recently washed?

Partially clogged drain tube maybe?

 

....blown LCA Hydro-bushing?

 

I will look at the drain tubes, but it hasn't been washed for a while.

A hydro-bushing sounds mysteriously like a finnamint pin or a muffler belt.....

 

LCA bushings are oil filled.

 

It did not seem to be viscous like oil, and the amount was about 2 quarts.

I will look more closely and see what I can determine this weekend.

Thanks for your help!

 

2 quarts? That would cover an entire garage floor.
