i got a low coolant notice about 6 months ago, took it in and there was a leak and they *fixed* it. got one 3 months later, filled up the reservoir with water warning went away. no signs of any leakage at all on the ground or if i open the hood and look around.

about a month after the filling up, water started blowing out of my AC when it started a little. no smell or taste...i think it's just water. last month that problem went away. last week i get the "low coolant" warning again, fill up the reservoir and immediately the AC starts blowing water out again.

i wouldn't have thought the two were related at all, but it sure seems like it is. can anyone help me with this?

Any chance the coolant is leaking into the passenger side footwell? Had the same problem with my Jeep and it was the heater core. Water vapor was blowing out of the air vents and I finally found the coolant leak under the floor mat.
