Most likely condensation... happens to virtually all cars with the AC on for prolonged periods of time. I wouldn't worry if you said it smelled like water

I have with other cars, but the Z is my weekend car and I don't find much need to activate the AC for anything longer than 10 minutes at any particular time. I've seen this plenty on SUVs as the clearance view underneath is easily visible (that is, without having to bend over to look)

It's most likey water KWS. If you run your AC a lot, the cold temp of the AC unit causes moisture in the air to condense and drip down. I get this all the time when I run the AC on high for a good length of time.

youve never seen this before? is it cold all year in canada or what? around here youll see a full puddle after just stopping at a redlight.

if its not oil, and its not antifreeze, neither very easily confused with water, I dont think you have any worries.

I get the same thing...comes from behind the R front wheel. I'm pretty sure it's just condensation from the A/C. No worries.
