Random water leaking....

And now, for my second post -

While I was doing my oil change today, I noticed some water dripping from behind my front right tire. I just figured it was from the rain weve had the past couple of days and left it at that, but after I was done with the oil change and had the car running at idle to check the oil level, I spotted more water. I have no idea where it is coming from and it is dripping at the rate of about 1 drop every 5-10 seconds. Im not sure if its just condensation or what, but I have never noticed it before now. Ive been having some really rough sounds coming from the exhaust system which I have a service appointment to check that out, but what is this from? Ive included a pic of the water. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

thanks!

the A/C condenser is in that area. If your A/C is on ("AUTO" or "DEFROST" setting on automatic climate control) it will drip water.

So...I have it on defrost as its been cold. I guess its coming from there? Of course, I dont have my AC on now, and its a manual, not automatic climate control.

thanks for the reply!

yeah, the defrost turns he A/C compressor on.....that's probably what is dripping.
