FD - clear leak on passanger side

There's clear liquid (no smell) leaking from the passenger side, between the door and the wheel. Is this A/C related, or something else?

It's not coolant and I just had a new oil pan put in with a brace. All turbo lines were also checked for leaks and one was replaced.

Thanks in advance

Most liquids are identified by color or feel.
If you are in doubt you can always "taste it"..
a little condensate from an A/C won't kill ya!

Got it, thanks for the replies.

Is this much A/C condensation normal for these cars? It's a constant drip after shut off. I'm guessing it's more of a line/compressor leak somewhere.

In hot humid weather... yeah, it's normal. I know it is on my cars. And it's common to continue for a while after shut down.
Try this....today drive around WITHOUT your A/C and see what you get.

Maybe some Scotch to go with the water.
