Mystery Fluid Leak

[jlallison3]

Hey Gents, I have a two small but consistent fluid leaks behind the engine bay, about a foot back from the door hinges in the center of the vehicle one on eave side of the axle. The fluid seems like it's water, as it's colorless and odorless and it doesn't appear to be coming from the transmission or exhaust. The only think I can think of is that it may be condensation from a frozen up A/C condenser, but I can't find a good diagram to make that an educated guess, and I'm partially basing that off a sharp drop in A/C performance this summer and that the leak only seems to happen after the vehicle has been running for a while (with the A/C set to Low/Low). Any help, second opinions, pretty pictures of where a condenser is located for sure on the B8 A5? All are appreciated!

I have this same pooling. I passed it off as normal as my a/c is still cooling fine. Curious though if others have this as well and hope it isn't my a/c starting to die.

Update on this for the OP. My 2010 A4 Avant and my A5 have this exact same behaviour so this appears normal and not related to your ac cooling issue.
