10' RDX leaking, water?

Got this car last week with 50k miles on it and today noticed this leak:



it was coming off roughly behind the right-front wheel. Here is a closer look:



Hopefully it is not something serious. With my prius I have also noticed a similar 'leak' of water when the AC was used. The AC was used this time as well, and when I touched it with my hand it didn't feel oily.

What do you guys think? if it is indeed the water due to AC, can anybody explain me why this happens, do I need to do anything?

thanks,
Tuguldur

if it is just the due to AC, then I guess the condensed moisture from the air might be forming this leak..?

From: south of here
That is normal condensation water from the air conditioner evaporator drain hose. The drain hose is visible in your pic; just in front of the cat.

I have the same exact issue. I just swapped for the ETS intercooler today and noticed the water on the floor for the first time after the install.

I just wanna make sure that the water leaking is notmal. I also have a 2010 rdx with 38k miles on it. How come I've never noticed the water from under my car before? And has anybody else had this?
