Clark: I'll have to let someone else chime in. I have not seen the container as you describe it. As far as the water under it, could it be from your AC drain hose? When AC is running, the moisture it sucks out of the car drains out and onto the ground in that area.

That'* not a plastic container with 'fluid' in it. Nor is there a 'level'. That'* the AC condenser. It'* quite normal for it to get condensed moisture on the outside and drip under the car. Smell the water that comes off it. It'* just water vapor condensed and dripped.

I think that is actually the dehydrator. Will: Clark says his looks nothing like mine does. He describes it as looking like the brake fluid resevoir...semi-clear plastic that he can see the fluid in.

Clark: If you can get a photo, that would really, really help. I'm sure members are curious to see what you are describing.

No coffee yet. You are correct. I know both of my cars have black insulation on it.
