Could be water from frozen condensation on your air-con condenser.

Yes, cars with aircon do drip condensation under the car from the condenser.

As long as it's clear n cold then it'll be condensation from the a/c pipes most likely as one seven (Hi John) said. Try a trip without the a/c on n see if it still does it. If i'm right then it shouldnt drip without using a/c.
We get it with our cars at work n thats usually the answer.

Water for washer jets if over filled seems to leak also.
Ive got water coming out my exhaust, either my cars very environmentally friendly of its collecting water.

Cool clear liquid dripping is almost definitely condensation from the ac unit...
PmP, a dripping exhaust when cold is caused by water from the exhaust gases condensing on the cool walls of the exhaust and being blown out by the flow. You've only got a problem if it still does it when warm
