Default Water or A/C drain?

I've had my car up on jack stands for 3 days now. Went out this morning and found this puddle of water. It was not there last night.

Seem like a windshield or A/C drain? I last used A/C about 1.5 weeks ago. I washed it last also 1.5 weeks ago.
Could someone tell me where the drains are? I'm thinking of running a few shots of compressed air to them to clear them out.

TIA

I had something similar happen. The windshield washer pump had come loose from the bottle. Left a puddle right behind the right front tire, which looks like the same location in your picture. HTH.

Although gross.. take your finger and "taste" the fluid. It will be antifreeze (there are lots of tube up there), water (ac condenser) or windshield washer fluid as suggested.

I'll bet your windshield washer bottle cam loose- The Turtle is bang on.

Yeah, when I found it I wiped my finger, smelt it, then did a taste. Definitely water.
I've never put anything in the washer bottle. Not sure if it ever had anything in it. I'll look.

I still need to check the A/C drain.

The most embarrassing post I will make (hopefully).

Came home on Friday from out of town and worked on it a little bit. It was dry.
On Saturday, I noticed another puddle under the car and a trail leading to the PLANTS that my wife had brought in and over-watered a little bit.

Sheesh. Glad it's nothing.
Thanks for reading.
