Water dripping from underneath CX-5

I just wanted to make sure this is normal. I have the AC set low when driving on a mildly humid day. The drip appears to be originating in line with where the engine sits.

Yes, water (condensation) dripping from the car is normal when the A/C has been on and it's humid.

Diapers? Ha yes very normal.

It's when you don't see dripping when using the AC that you should be concerned: our CX-9 had the drain tube clogged up, and the water backed up into the blower motor. Things still mostly work okay once I got the tube unclogged. So a puddle of water = good!

First car with AC?

First car with AC?

My previous car (a 2001 Pontiac Grand AM GT) was leaking all sorts of fluids... so seeing this puddle brought back some bad memories. I just needed some reassurance Thanks, guys.

As long as the drip is clear and doesn't smell like coolant you're OK

Had a 1991 Jeep Cherokee and the drain tube was routed into the passenger footwell. Shortest time I ever kept a vehicle...1 /1/2 years. One and only American engineered car I've owned.
