AC units have a condensation line. This is a necessary option as cooling the air causes condensation, much like a cold glass of water will condensate on the outside of the glass. The condensate line should be draining to a safe place, and draining whenever the unit is running. The unit should also have a secondary condensate line (overflow). this line should be separate from the main condensate line and be draining to a conspicuous place. If this line is draining, then you should check to see if the primary drain line is plugged. Anything from lint and dust to dead rats and mice have been pulled out of condensate drain lines. If you do not know how to get to this, call a professional and use the primary and secondary condensate verbiage to let him know that you are not an ignorant putz that he can take advantage of. That should save you a few dollars on the bill. Hope this helps. Terry

How do you get the outside tap to stop dripping after turning off water inside for the winter?

Outside Tap? outside faucet?/outside hosebibb?/outside spigot? well in most cases you are referring to the outside faucet that is dripping and I am guessing you have a ball valve or gate valve inside and when you shut of the ball/gate valve your outside faucet is still dripping and this means you have a leaky ball/gate valve which are known to leak slightly over the years and if your outside faucet is shutoff , then you need new seals in your outside faucet too. The easyest way to stop your leak is replace or repair your outside faucet if its a freezeless one. (just make sure your outside faucet has grade to drain the water out after you shut it off)

Why is water dripping from under your Jeep Wrangler?

Either this is condensation from the atmosphere dripping from the outside of the vehicle (are there any dewdrops on it?) or something is leaking.... the water for the windscreen washers or the radiator. Find out where the water is landing.... the leak will - most likely - be above that point.


Should there be oil dripping off the old spark plugs when changing?

Do you mean dripping off the inside or outside of the plug? If it's dripping off the outside, you probaly have a bad valve cover gasket. If it's dripping off the inside, you probably have bad rings or valve seals. In either case, there shouldn't be oil on the sparkplug, either inside or out. If it's oil on the outside of the plug, it won't hurt your engine unless you're losing lots of oil, quickly. One way to stop or slow the bleeding is to really tighten the bolts that line the top of the valve cover. Older engines especially. If that doesn't work, consider the gasket which is relatively easy and inexpensive to replace.
