Honda/Car Expert Help Needed

[McPhreak]

my gf scraped the bottom of her car ('95 civic) and this pipe is leaking a clear liquid that doesn't smell like gas. Anyone know what this pipe contains? I don't think it's coolant or windshield wiper fluid since it looks clear.

blinker fluid hose

My best guess is its the drain for the AC evaporator. You know, water condenses from gas to liquid when it gets cold?

Probably the NAWZ tube

ohh! its the RICE suctioner.

Except that the evaporator itself doesn't drain. The evaporator housing drains because of the condensation that forms in it. Condensation also forms on the remainder of the low-side A/C tubing and will drip off.

So is the tube broken? Can you get a pic of where it goes after it disappears to the left in the pic?

Definitely the headlight fluid hose.

Well, let some accumulate in a bottle or something overnight, then look at it in the morning, then try to identify it by colour and smell. Could be washer flud, radiator fluid, power steering/brake fluid ect...

Please read my original post. Colorless and odorless so it's not washer/radiator/or steering fluid and it's not gasoline.

It could be the lower hash pipe.
