Default water leak

I have water slowly dripping from under the car. Roughly centered left to right and about under the windshield or a bit toward the back from there. Would this location be condensation from the A/C? Or something else. Its not slick, oily looking or feeling, and doesn't smell. I collected a good sized puddle in the garage after a drive.
I searched the forum but all I saw were posts about coolant leaks.

Sounds like condensate. Look at the coolant in your tank, if it does not look like that you should be good to go

This is what a coolant leak normally looks like. In my case it was a cherry slurpee spilled in the garbage can

I check out the "stream" every time I get back in the car. Good thing I've had everything pinned/sealed and it's always water. Still gotta look tho', every time.

Funny... I too have succumb to my fear of leaks when something else in fact leaked there before I got there...
