Liquid dripping below front wheel? Normal?
I was car camping overnight and just drove home... went inside for a bit and when I went back out to unpack some of the things, I noticed this drip on my driveway under/behind the front driver wheel. Is this normal/what is the liquid?

I had AC on when I started driving home, but turned it off so it wasn't on for very long.

Condensation from the AC. Was it humid outside?

There is nothing in the car that looks clear and "feels" like water and has no smell.

I went out to check and it has mostly evaporated - seems nothing more has dripped? I tried rubbing my fingers but wasn't picking up any liquid, nor did it smell.

Is that where the AC would drip? Is there always a specific place it would? Just a bit weird given how short the AC was actually running...

No, water from AC on 4Runner drips on the passenger side behind the front wheel and at about the level of the right frame, so it is not directly behind the tire...

But it could be sunroof drain.

Hmm that looks like it would drip out towards the front of the wheel/front of car... this spot is absolutely behind the wheel... hmm!

The pictures in the post I linked too may be a little confusing but there are both front and rear drains, the front drains rear of the front wheel and the rear drains rear of the rear wheel.

I know for a fact that the front drains behind the front wheel as I have had to clean out my drain lines. If it where on the opposite side of the truck I would have first guessed the AC drain line.

Of course it is totally possible it is something else, like something standing water accumulation from somewhere, but the truck does have a few factory drain lines. As long as it isn’t oil, coolant, PS, PB, trans or gear lube, everything vital will be okay.
