Default Something's leaking?

There's liquid dripping from the front passenger side of my engine, close to my front left wheel. It's a '98 Civic Ex (America's LX). After I parked my car I noticed a trail of liquid.. not really sure what it is.. A/C?

I didn't do any rough driving.. it's just today that it started dripping out of nowhere.

Is there any color to it? Were you running your AC?

Hmm... I didn't catch that.

In any case, to be sure, you can check your washer fluid and your coolant level.

Your A/C lines get extremely cold when it's running and form condesnsation just like a Mcdonalds cup full of a cold drink. That drips off after it's been running for a while and makes a small puddle. If your worried about it, get some on your finger and smell it. If it's just water, there will be no smell and no color.
