Default Water leak behind wheel passenger side

I noticed water leaking behind the passenger side wheel just below the door, checked inside of car not wet/no moisture, all fluids intact ie; coolant, radiator, wiper fluid. Possibly A/C condensation only? Hoping for your guys' help. Thanks.

There is a drain tube coming from your A/C system located right there. If you run A/C on a humid day the condensation from the A/C components collects near the heater box and drains out this tube. The outlet of the tube is right above your header collector.

Sometimes this outlet tube can get clogged and cause the infamous "passenger floor soaking wet" threads you may have seen. The area where the condensation collects is not sealed and thus if the water can't drain out that tube, it overflows into the passenger floor.

Anyway, its normal as long as you were running your A/C or it was really humid outside.

The window washer reservoir is inside that fender. You may have a cracked bottle or a leaky hose going out to the sprayers.
