notice today that my car is dripping something. The drip is roughly located in the middle of the car, so I am not sure what it is. It's too far back for engine stuff, too front for rear diff. I am getting work done on my car on Tuesday so I will ask them to take a look. I just want to make sure it isn't something really urgent that probably won't last til Tuesday.
I did check my oil level in MMI and it is slightly below max. I know it isn't accurate but I have never seen it below max in the year plus I have had the car.

Were you running your air conditioner? If so, this typically can leave a puddle of water(leaked condensation) under the car.

Seems like a silly question now :(
But I never noticed that much dripping the whole summer =\
I hope it's just the AC, don't have time to deal with problems right now.

Easiest thing to do is examine the drippage. If it's clear and looks like water you're fine. If it is colored and feels slippery then you might have an issue.

I can almost guarantee it's the A/C as it is happening to every car in the parking lot including. :)

I know... this topic comes up every few months and I'm always like [headbang]
It's probably MMI oil. Better get it in soon or your MMI will stop working.
Seems to me like its the water from the AC; very normal fyi.
