under-car condensation, normal for this time of year?
so i've recently noticed that there is a tiny pool of moisture where i park my car and i'm not sure what's causing it.
it's coming from right in front of the rear-most front cross-brace on what i believe is the bottom of the transmission (this is where it drips off at least). it's on the driver side of the exhaust piping and is steel. i haven't been able to lift my car to look exactly
it doesn't smell, doesn't taste, and isn't slimy so it leads me to believe it's water. it's only started (that i've noticed) recently, and i've been using the air/defrost mode on medium/hot to hot hvac since it's just begun to get cold here. aside from the hvac change, the only other thing i've done to the car is change the oil and that's when i first heard it drip onto the cardboard i had under the car while changing the oil
not sure if this is similar to the AC unit getting condensation on it during hot days when it's working hard and dripping or if it's something bigger. if anyone has ideas or has experienced this, lemme know!

If you are using your A/C, then that is where the moisture is coming from. Pretty much every car will leave a small pool of water and its condensation from the air conditioner. Totally normal thing and nothing to worry about at all.
