You'd be surprized at how much condesation can come off of the A/C lines especially in really hot climates. All that water has to drain somewhere, otherwise it would end up on your carpet.

exhaust leak, water will find its way out before air

thats my guess, had that problem on my cat back right before the tail pipes.
How will water find its way out before water does??? That makes no sense to me...

uh THAT makes no sense.
I think you meant how will water find its way out before AIR!?

Anyways, High humidity + AC = lots of condensation = lots of water coming out.

It's your AC...for sure.

I'm surprised nobody said "bearings" or "yer engine is bad".

I just noticed (never noticed this before) my vehicle is leaking what appears to be water. its on the passenger side looks like right before the firewall and it IS water. Intake isnt cracked and it is clear and has no smell or color to it. Is this normal?
its your A/C.

110% sure.
