Clear Water Leak from Under Car (AC Not On)
Clear water leaking from under a 2019 Honda Accord when the AC was not running is likely condensation from the evaporator drain or possibly rainwater from the cowl area. Since the fluid is clear and not oily or colored, it is not a critical fluid leak.
Diagnosis Details
Possible Causes
Condensation from the air conditioning evaporator drain tube (even if AC was not on, residual moisture can drain after use).
Rainwater or car wash water trapped in the cowl or sunroof drains draining out.
Coolant leak (if the fluid is actually green, pink, or orange, but described as clear water).

What You Should Do
Verify the fluid is truly clear and odorless by placing a paper towel under the drip.
Check the coolant reservoir level and color.
If the fluid is clear and the coolant level is normal, no action is needed.
If the leak persists or changes color, inspect the evaporator drain and cowl area for blockages.
