Clear Water Leak from Jeep Grand Cherokee (AC Off)
A clear water leak when the AC is off is likely condensation from the evaporator drain or rainwater from the cowl area. Since the fluid is clear and not oily or colored, it is not a critical issue.
Diagnosis Details
Possible Causes
Condensation from the HVAC evaporator drain tube (normal even with AC off in humid conditions)
Rainwater or car wash water trapped in the cowl or windshield area draining out
Coolant leak (unlikely as coolant is usually colored and sweet-smelling, but clear coolant exists)

What You Should Do
Check the fluid by touching and smelling it.
If it is odorless and clear, it is water.
Ensure the drain tube is not clogged.
If the leak persists or changes color/odor, inspect coolant levels and have the system pressure tested.
