hurt bottom and water leak

Camry 99, 80K. Today, I hurt my car front bottom on a bump and the contact was kind of heavy. When I checked the car tonight I found water leaked on the ground. The water was clear and about the shoe size. I was worried so I went under the car and got a look. I found there was a small rubber hose under about the middle of driver and passenger seats, pointing to the ground. The water was coming from there. It was obvious to me that the hose was installed to allow the car to leak water or liquid. Could anyone tell me what this hose is for? Is the leak a problem? Does it leak because I hurt my car?

Last July when I took my car to dealer for a repair, I was told the water pump was leaking. I had it replaced. Is this the same problem?

Thanks,

qq

No, that is the drain from the air conditioner hose. It should leak nicely when running the AC in the summer.

No, your fine.

I found there was a small rubber

Condensate drain for air conditioning - supposed to drain clear water there - unrelated to hitting the frame on the ground. Had a similar experience coming off a freeway, through a yellow light, into the driveway of a commercial center at around 35 mph. BAM! Touched up the scrape mark with black Rustoleum, and wound up replacing one of the (Silverstar) headlamp bulbs shortly thereafter - not particularly good for the battery either to have that kind of shock - but there's not much you can do after the fact. Just check under the hood carefully and try to avoid recurrence of smashing the undercarriage into the ground.

They are a little low at the front. I inadvertantly ran over a raised ridge on the verge of a cement-road. The Camry waggled the left wheel in the air for about a yard. On inspection, the sub-frame had taken the punishment The vitals are generally well protected.
