I have a 2005 Honda Civic and when I run the A/C and make a hard left or right turn the fan sounds like it’s blocked and I hear what sounds like I’m driving over gravel. Today I noticed a pool of water under my car leaking from the front end and it didn’t look like the normal A/C condensation drip. It looks like water and not antifreeze.

It not being antifreeze is a good thing,unless you radiator is filled with water.

It was a clogged vent -whew! The dealership took care of it same day and it only cost me $47 and peace of mind.
