Default Drip(s) under front bumper

Hi guys,

I parked my car up at work this afternoon, happened to glance out the window and noticed a little damp patch under the bumper on the drivers side.

Had a look under the bumper (tried to attach a picture couple of pictures) and it seems that water is dripping (very slowly) from these holes.

It was sat in the rain over the weekend - could it be this rainwater just working its way out? Can't seem to find any obvious leaks anywhere. My friend seems to think it could be condensation from the air con but I've not used that for a few days (I have noticed a drip further back when I've had the air con running a while but this seems different).

Any ideas what it could be?

Probably rainwater sat in the tray beneath the radiators, keep checking after a few dry days.

A/C condense drips much further back...almost exactly under the gear level area.

I’m hoping that’s what it is, not least because it’d be free!

Is A/C condenser dripping anything to be concerned about?

No, it's normal.

If the drip is definitely water, it's nothing to worry about because your car doesn't (or at least shouldn't ) contain any water.
