My car is dripping water

I noticed my car was dripping water or some kind of clear fluid today. It doesn't really smell and it runs clear. It must be water. I remember this happened to my sis's Rodeo and they said it was the AC. And, I did have the AC on today but never noticed the water the other times I had the AC on. It's kinda coming from the right side near the front wheel. I don't think it's antifreeze and it's definitely not oil. So what could it be?

Its the A/C.

It happens each time the A/C is on. I believe it may even be mentioned in the Owner's Manual

Given the location it could be blinker fluid... better bring it in and have them check for leaks & top it off. But be sure they use synthetic, otherwise it only lasts about 3,500 blinks.

Really??? Glad to know there's plenty of helpful people here! I should probably check the headlight fluid too cause it's not as bright as before.

Chillax, they're just bustin yer balls. It's just condensation from the A/C which was mentioned earlier. After you get the answers you want, it's open season for everyone else...
