Puddle of fluid under car, not coolant or oil. could it be Aircon condensation

[Iky]

As the thread title,

 

Went to the beach this weekend, was a lovely hot day. Stopped at services and noticed puddle under front of the car, near oil sump but a little behind.

Checked it and wasn't coolant or oil or gearbox fluid. I had the air con on for about 50 miles of driving.

 

Is this normal?

 

I know air con pipes will have a little condensation but this was like a big puddle of dog piss. Also aircon still seems to work

normal. condensation from aircon

Yep, position and description sounds like condensation from the aircon. Put a bit on your finger and smell it, or even taste a tiny bit. If it's oil or petrol you'll soon know about it. If it's coolant, it should taste slightly sweet.

First thing I checked

 

Just wasn't sure about the amount of it. The puddle was about a meter square.
