Default Water leak D4 64 plate. Any suggestions?

Hi all,
Bought a Volvo V40 d4 64 plate yesterday. 60k on the clock, amacelet service history with Volvo. All the replacement Egr work carried out in October 2015.

Drove the car back 4 hours home with no issues, engine performs great, no warnings etc. Today I noticed a small puddle of clear water.. no chemicals etc. Dripping from the centre of the car under where the gearbox is (back of engine bay). I'm not losing any coolant and it doesn't taste of windscreen wash. Any suggestions? It's left me rather confused and slightly concerned!

Thanks all

That's just condensation from The refridgeration system , you can get pints out of there on a humid day .

Sounds like the aircon drain.
Use of it in winter will act as a good dehumidifier and keep the car reasonably dry inside.
