If it is full of coolant yet. Don't worry about it. Put a little air pressure in your windshield washer reservoir and I think you will find it. I replaced the pump and gasket on one a year ago

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. Nothing like troubleshooting to learn more about the Z. . It was dry under the Z this morning. I drove it to work and everything is running normally. The gauges (temp, pressure, etc.) also looked normal. I don't believe '91s have a digital readout. It was still dry underneath when I left work. I also checked with my mechanic and he also thought it was likely the AC condensation since the fluid levels are good. Will report back tomorrow.

You can get a lot of information such as coolant temp from the HVAC readout.

You have to love the power of the brotherhood.

I looked in the service manual and there is a procedure (hold the fan 'up' and 'down' buttons for 5 seconds, then use the same fan 'up' and 'down' buttons for navigation and the center 'auto' button for selecting) for displaying HVAC fault codes and inside/outside air temps, but it didn't mention anything about engine coolant or oil temps.

I'm glad to report that the track day went swell! All dry under the car and still had brakes at the end of the day (dot4 fluid did wonders). It's pretty amazing what a stock 27 year old Z can do! Even my coach thought the Z handled wonderfully when he drove during the orientation laps. All went well that is until the moment I got home and the service ride control light came on again...I swear it's possessed.
