Toyota Repair: dripping clear fluid, 2008 camry, drain tube


Question
hi
struck the bottom of my 2008 Camry today. Actually brought up solid on a big bump in a side road...looks like there is a small hose hanging in center of front end...dripping what appears to be water..I am on vacation with my two kids ; hubby at home.,..what have I done!???

Answer
Doesn't sound like anything serious happened, clear fluid/ water is most likely from the air conditioning drain tube, this is normal. Depending on the location of the hose it could also be windshield water fluid, is the hose near the front grille below the grille? The a/c drain tube is located at the firewall is this where the water is coming out. All the fluids used in the engine and transmission as well as the cooling system and brake system used colored fluids so if the fluid is water then it's not a fluid vital to the operation of the car and you can drive it.
