    Dripping cold water, aircon?

    Just been out for a drive and as I was parking up the GF noticed the car was dripping fluid. Had a quick look and it looks to be dripping water from the area approximately where the passengers feet would be and it's not hot so I'm pretty sure it's not coolant.

    Guessing it's something to do with the aircon but as it's too dark to investigate and I don't know a whole lot about a/c a few questions:

    Is my guesswork correct, is it a problem and what's likely to be the cause/solution?

    I often find a little pool under the front end of the truck when I have had my air con on.

    Its standard practice
