Default Where is this leak coming from? PIC

I just got back and was using the AC since it's hot here today and noticed a water puddle almost directly below the drivers seat. It's clear water not coolant. I see no leaks in the heater hose, reservoir or thermostat housing. What is this? Condensation from the AC? I only get this when I use the AC, otherwise no leak.

Condensation from the AC. Mine drips so much I have to put a towel down between the car and the wall.

Ok, so nothing to worry about then?

It's not normal for that much condensation is it? Never had a car that had that much condensation.

As long as it is just water, and it is outside the car, no worries.

I leave my A/C on all the time. A stream of water like that from the drains is normal after stopping.

Time to worry is when you run A/C and you don't see that after you stop. It means the drain tubes are blocked or detached and the condensate ends up soaking the front carpets.

I would be more concerned someone has jacked your car up from the wrong place and ripped your sill bottom out......

Amatures!!!! Makes me mad!!!
