Default Water Leaking from underneath.

Would it have to do anything with the AC? I was using it a lot today, and after parking my car, I see water dripping from a tube from underneath the car. I first thought it was radiator fluid, but it was just water. Why does it do that?

if you think it might be clogged look up under the car where the water comes out and find the drain, if it is clogged stick a coat hanger up there to clean it out

If it were clogged, it would drip inside the car, making your carpeting & your feet wet. It's SUPPOSED to drip outside onto the street.

Its normal to have water puddle after using AC, as long as the puddle is outside the car

Because part of the A/C systems "job" besides cooling the air is to remove excess moisture out of the air, hence "Condition". This extra moisture collects inside the "evaporator", hence it's name. It promotes 'evaporation' of excess moisture. This removed moisture must "go" some where. And it goes to a collection trough at the bottom of the evap. where there is a drain tube to the outside of the car. ALL A/C systems drain in this way, you were just never aware of it before.
