Exclamation Water

Just got an 03 base with 37500 miles.Whenever i warm up the car and check under i see water spots where i was parked.I touch it just to make sure its not oil or anything.Is this something i should worry about and where could it be coming from right under the engine.coolant?

Are you running your air conditioner it could just be water condensing from it.

Coolant has a color, has a different feel, and has a smell.

Is the OP aware that the AC engages itself, kind of a default setting, whenever the "heat" is turned on? Are you sure the AC is not running? New owners have been confused by that before. Is the amber light on the far right side control? Bet it is.
