I was driving home from work and my dash board lights up for a split second with this light that is indicating that my car is overheating (per the internet, idk bc I'm not a car person).

It is only there for a second, so I continue driving home. When I get home, I park and sit in the car for a bit trying to navigate through my dash menu and it tells me nothing is wrong. I get out of the car and a puddle is streaming down the driveway from a leak under the car. [IMG][/IMG]

It's water, at least I think it's water. I touched it, it's clear and I put a piece of paper on it, still clear. I don't think I've ever noticed this if it happens regularly until today.

For reference, today is a very sunny day and it's hot. I had my ac on as well the entire drive home (20 minutes).

Please let me know what you think. Is this just my ac and water condensation? Or something bigger. I really don't need car trouble on top of coronavirus trouble.

that water is likely condensate from your air conditiong.

the red temperature light means you need to scan it with a proper tool and see the stored codes.

chances are you're doing water pump things soon.
