Default WET ON GROUND UNDERNEATH LEFT EXHAUST TIP!!??

I just noticed that underneath my left side exhaust tip, it is considerably wet after driving. It smells like musky water. Any ideas?? AC maybe?

Yep. Most likely that is it. Just condensation.

I assume this is a 996? If it is a large amount, I would check your coolant level in the reservoir. They are prone to cracking, and will drip down the side of the engine and off the left exhaust tip. Some condensation is normal to come out the exhaust, but there should not be any condensation after a drive around town, then parking it.

It is a 996. Coolant level is fine. When touched, it is a light color with the texture and smell of funky water. I also caught two drips from the exhaust tip that were just clear with a weird smell. The amount after the car sits for a while is about the equivalent of a 1/2 cup of water...
