Default 88 prelude problem

I have a water leak that only happens after I turn my car off. It doesnt leak any water while its running. The longer I leave the car on, the more the water comes out after I turn it off. Ive jacked up the car to try to see where its coming from but its the most clustered part of the engine and you just cant see it. Any ideas? Thanks

not a lot of cars leak water only after there turned off so that narrows it down

How about you describe where the water is located? Taillights? Trunk? Back Seat? Front Seat? Under dash? Under car?

How about you describe the amount of water? An ounce? A cup? A gallon?

I'm going to guess its on the dizzy side, towards the rear of the engine?

There are alot of hoses back there that like to leak, replace those and go from there. And is it immediately after the car shuts off, or after it cools for a while?

I'm thinking A/C evap purge, but there's not enough information so it's just a guess.
