Dude...I have the same thing. It usually happens after it rains or when I use the a/c. I really have no idea what it is, but I've just kind of brushed it off. I'd like to know what it is though.

If your coolant levels are all fine, it's more than likely just condensation from your AC landing on something very hot.

If it is only when using the a/c then it is probably just the condensation driping onto you exhaust pipes because that happens to me all the time and have confirmed that it is just that.

why would you do that? If you shot enough water in there you probably just ruined the 02 sensors not to mention you're just asking to burn out your Cats...

The water will come out of the exhaust next time you get on the throttle a little bit. But yes, the damage already has been done if the check engine light is on.
