Default Passenger Side Leak

HI guys! I recently bought a 92 corvette. It runs great, but certain times when I park, it begins to leak underneath the car by the passenger side. I'm thinking it is some sort of coolant issue. My heater core isn't working, so maybe there's a plugged tube. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey, I think it is ac condensation. Only puddles after I run the A/C. Thanks for the suggestion, I really appreciate it. What’s my next step?

No next step. It is natural on all cars.

Yup, if you open the hood while the car is running you'll actually see frost on the AC line, when you stop the AC that frost will melt and drip down as water.

As said above, AC systems normally dribble water on the ground passenger side behind the front tire. As ME93 mentioned, I had a leak in the heater core that would leak water into the carpet cushion.
