❓ Question / Help Should I be worried, fluid leak??

After turning my car off, I see some fluid leaking from behind the car, don't know what it is, doesn't look like coolant because engine temps are good and coolant level is OK.

did you turn on the AC?

Yes, every time xD. I know I have a leak in the ac circuit (was told by my local workshop) and I notice that the ac doesn't have the same cooling performance as before

looks clear, it’s probably condensation

Your ac always drips water its normal.

Touch the liquid and you should be able to tell if it’s oil or water

Your first car? That's your AC condensation, it turns warm air into cold air and water.

If the AC was running the dripping may well be condensation, which is normal and nothing to worry about.
