I did not use the air at all, that's what had me concerned. I spoke with the dealer today and he said that there is a system to cool the battery that works like the air conditioning. It produces water. So that must be what is going on. It is the first time this has happened. But there are a lot of water splatters under the hood. I am going to show that to the dealer on Monday. Also I am going to find out what they put in for oil, as this is a real small dealer in a hick town and they may not know much about these cars. I am afraid they may have put just regular oil in the car. When I asked them when to do the first oil change, I said 'about 3,000 miles?' They said, 'yeh.' So I am wondering just what they know. I suppose I should have the full synthetic oil put in. I appreciate help with this, as you can see my dealer here does not know a lot about the car. I am learning from reading the forum.

My first service was complimentary too. But I didn't know about the synthetic oil thing. I looked at the slip and it just says 5W20 oil. I hope they put in the right stuff. I am going to ask them what they put in. I am sort of an oil change freak and since it is the first change, had it done at 3,800. I figure that there are metal parts and such that are an issue with the first oil - - not that I know anything about car engines. But I had a Saturn for 20+ years and always changed the oil every 3,000. That car was as good as new when I sold it this year. Also, change my Honda oil about every 3,000. I have had mechanics say this is the thing to do. Today, I have water under the car and splatters all over under the hood. Haven't had the air on for 2 days. Wonder what this is. Has never happened before even with the air on. I could actually see water dripping out underneath. I am wondering if they overfilled the coolant when serviced, but I had this happen after only driving about 4 miles. Has anyone had this happen. I am talking to my dealer tomorrow.
