Hello,
I got a RAV4 XLE from 2018 and I just noticed that my A/C started to leaks water and it's not because of the clogged hose but there is a leak through the condenser meaning it is not seal properly. I will attach a photo on here, please let me know if there is any advice you can give( use silicone, etc..)

The first thing you should be doing is approaching your dealer. As it’s a 2018, you would be just outside (or maybe still within) the comprehensive warranty (badly named as bumper to bumper). The resolution may require disassembling part of the dashboard which will be quite expensive. If you’re out of that 3/60,000 mile period but only by a bit, Toyota might still cover it.

Going to the dealer is the last thing you should do, at least in San Jose, CA. My wife's 2018 rav4 had leaking in front passenger ground in 2019, then she went to the dealer and thought still under warranty, right? WRONG! Stevens Creek Toyota used the spider net excuse to avoid the warranty and charged her more than $200 to fix it without asking her, because she signed a document when entered the dealer and the document said dealer can directly process the repair if under $200 something.
The interesting truth is Toyota had a recall in 2013 due to the same thing effects the airbag control module. Then why it`s a recall in 2013 but not a warranty issue in 2019?

More than 800,000 Toyotas recalled for spider-related airbag problem

In some vehicles, a blockage sometimes caused by spiderwebs could lead to a short circuit in an airbag module.
