Clear Water Leak from Under Vehicle (AC Not Running)
A clear water leak under a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 when the AC is not running is likely condensation from the air conditioning system or normal water drainage from the windshield/cowl area. Since the AC was off, it may be residual condensation or water from rain/washing. This is generally not a mechanical issue.
Diagnosis Details
Possible Causes
Residual condensation from the AC evaporator drain tube (common even after AC is off if recently used)
Water draining from the cowl or windshield area (rain, car wash, or dew)
Coolant leak (unlikely as coolant is usually colored and sweet-smelling, not clear water)
