AC leak?

Sup guys. Is it normal for my Evo IX to jsut be making like water puddles everywhere i park..? cause i mean my old accord never does this neither does my infiniti or my nissan? my Evo is the ony garaged car and it even makes tiny puddles in there i touched it and felt around and im pretty sure its not oil... i mean i dont think its harmfull to the car but its kind of annoying.

Anyone else have this problem?

I did some searches and i coudlnt find anything about ac leak? maybe im jsut noob?

Perfectly normal...

Water is draining from the Evaporator unit due to condensation.

okay thats good im glad its normal nwo that i think of it your probably right i probably jsut didnt notice them doing it cause the evo is the first garaged car so the water doesnt evaporate as quick on the garage floor... thats probably why i notice it

I think this is the deal with the issue I am having as well, but I'd like a second opinion pleae.

I parked the Evo in the garage and as I was walking out, I saw a wet trail leading into the garage. I looked under the car and there is a small puddle forming and water is dripping from the center of the car, right about where the firewall is.

I grabbed a flashlight, popped the hood and found that it was dripping from a little rubber hose that was coming out of the firewall. It came out of the firewall, made a 90 degree bend downward and stopped; the water was dripping out of that.

I am guessing that is a tube for letting the A/C condensation out? I was running the A/C while I was driving, which I normally don't do.
