Water drip from clutch housing
2011 GS 6 speed, 22,000 miles. Wife and I took it out for a drive today. Put it on the lift after we got home and raised it up. Went out to drive the wife’s car in and noticed water drops all the way to the lift, much more then from the ac. Got under the lift to check it out and found water dripping from the rear bottom of the clutch/pressure plate housing. Bought the car new and have never seen this before. Have any of you folks ever seen this?

Your fine, since none of the fluids in the car are clear water, so just water from a older car wash, from the puddle you drove through, or condensation out of the air humidity instead.
About the only thing that I would check is the Hvac air box drain hose to make sure it not clogged.

Has not been washed in over a month. Drive today was done in completely dry weather. The water is dripping out of the clutch/pressure plate housing from a hole in the back, then clings to the housing an inch or two before dropping off. It was enough water to cause water spots every 6-10 inches all the way into the garage, then a 12 inch circle of water on the floor by the time I raised it up

Happen to be a high humidity day? It really can't be anything but condensation because clear water wouldn't drip from anything else. Certainly not the clutch hydraulics or block unless you've done an amazingly thorough job flushing all coolant out of the system...

Was a high humidity day seven. It was clear water, condensation for sure. Just never seen it drip from there before, it was like someth8ng was causing condensation inside the housing.
