Default Fluid leak . . .

I parked my '07 this afternoon and an hour or so later I noticed some liquid on the garage floor, running out from the right side. It was not any kind of oil. It looks and feels like water and has no odor.

It was dripping from the lowest point of the right exhaust pipe after it comes down from the engine. I can't see anything when I look down from under the hood.

The radiator tank and overflow are on the left side, so I assume it cannot be that.

The only other thing I can think of would be condensation removed by the air conditioner (it's pretty humid out today). Where does it normally exit? If not that, what else could it be?

Yup, the A/C condensate drip tube discharges right above the right side exhaust pipe. Very common for owners to post here about hearing a sizzling sound after parking the car. But not all cars are affected so there is some wiggle room for the tube apparently.

Ha! Thank you!

I did search the forum with what I thought were related search words before making this thread, but didn't see anything relevant.
