  1. check coolant level [and other fluids while hoods open] i agree its prob AC dripping near front pass side tire


  2. Totally depends what is leaking.   If it seems like clear water, that's from your exhaust or A/C and is fine.  

    If it's not, see if it's oily.

    - Oil (ranging from honey colored to black)

    - Transmission fluid (red)

    - Clutch fluid (red, same stuff)

    - Brake fluid (clear to red)

    If it's not oily, then it's

    - Windshield washer fluid (color of what's in your WW tank, usually blue)

    - Antifreeze (green, orange or red)

    You can check the level of all these fluids.   The really scary ones are antifreeze and brake fluid.  Those need to be fixed IMMEDIATELY.  Antifreeze tastes very sweet, and so animals will l**k it up and it will kill them.  There is a non-toxic type of antifreeze available, but *gasp* it costs $2 more!

    If you have a rear wheel drive car, or a manual transmission car, you may also have one other type of fluid: a heavy oily fluid that smells strongly of sulfur.  You can't check the level in that, but leaks are rare.  Take it to a shop if you're sure it's that.

  3. It may be the A/C draining but you said in the front and the A/C would be in the center draining.

    I would get it check as soon as possible just to be on the safe side.

  4. Yes, it should be. That should only be the AC draining out.

    Check it, if it has any color to it, then you need to get it checkd out. I

    If it's just water, then you're fine.

    That's completely normal.
