Clear Water Leak Under Car (AC Not On)
Clear water leaking from under the vehicle when the AC is not running is typically normal condensation from the air conditioning system, but since the AC was off, it could be from other sources like rain, washing, or a minor coolant leak (though coolant is usually colored). If the fluid is truly clear and odorless, it's likely just water from recent rain or a car wash.
Diagnosis Details
Possible Causes
Rainwater or car wash water trapped in body panels or undercarriage draining out
Condensation from the AC evaporator drain (if AC was used recently, residual water may still drip)
Coolant leak (if coolant is clear/colorless, but typically it's green, orange, or pink)

What You Should Do
Check the fluid color, smell, and feel (coolant is slippery and sweet-smelling).
If it's just water, no action needed.
If it's coolant, inspect hoses, radiator, and water pump for leaks.
