93 toyota canry tube
Hello All
I have a 93 Toyota Camry xle, v6. The question is that there is a tube that comes out underneath the car, just behind the front axle. Looks to me like water is dripping out of it. But I can't figure out what it is for.
Thanks

Also located a hole in the bottom of the trunk which I assumed should have accommodated the tube. Pushed the tube through the hole, bound it with duct tape to keep it there and have not experienced a problem since.
Am still puzzled as to the source of the water.

Threw a bucket of water over the sun roof, five minutes later a pool of water formed in the driveway under the trunk.
It was seeping through the tube I redirected through the bottom of the car.
Incidentally, the vehicle is a 1988 Toyota Camry LE 6 cyl.
Original paint, 243,000 km, still burns no oil between oil changes, no rust and in close to showroom condition. Wouldn't trade it for a 2008 model.
Wife's previous Camry (now has an '01) was still running strong at 175,000 miles and also used no oil.
