If you are using air conditioning it could be the condensation around the compressor. If so, that is normal.
Hi, i saw leaking water drops under the engine when ever i use my A/C. some times more water drops are coming. if water is coming out side after some time there won't be any water left in the radiator right..? what need to do over come this. Thx vamsy
Air conditioner condensate, or you have a leak so check your fluid levels
If the radiator is leaking, should be red color. Touch the fluid on the ground with your finger. If it is clear, should be plain water. Been trying to explain this to my 11 yr. old - water condenses from the warm air when touching a cold surface, like the outside of an iced drink, or the air contiioning condenser in your car. If it does _not_ drip on the ground, then your problem is that the carpeting in the car gets wet, and you need to clear the condensate drain line.
It is completely normal. The AC has a thing called the 'evaporator' which is situated in the heater/blower-fan box. Water or condensation forms on this as humidity is pulled down in the car's cabin. This water is then drained underneath the car via a small hose.

Park your car upside down to prevent water loss from the radiator.
