Default is this water leak bad? (photo included)

Hi,

recent Z owner and am loving it so far, but i came home today and noticed a heap of water dripping out of the area circled in the photo, it's right near the front left tire (visible in the photo).

coincidently it happened right after i had some issues closing the passenger seat window.

has anybody else had this happen? is it something i should take to get looked at?

TIA

Its probably AC condensation, if it does not have a chemical smell / feel.

You could have two possible liquids under the car:

Coolant from the overflow.
Possible condensation from the condenser.

That's it.

he says it has no oil feel or chemical smell.

It is nothing to worry about.
