Unhappy Water leak underneath

My Rando is 2009, 17000M. Yesterday, I noticed that there is some fluid leaking on the parking spot when I turn off the engine. The leak spot between the two front wheel. The fluid looks not like oil, no color, just like water, a little bit slippery. Usually last for a few minutes. Is that a big problem?

If you ran the air conditioner, then this might be condensation from the A/C condenser coil (or whatever it's called).

I agree about the A/C creating this situation. If you have the automatic climate controls, the A/C is cycling more often than you realize.

It's good, it means the condensation is draining so your car will not accumulate water and smell swampy

I agree with the other guys, most likely it is from the drain from the pan that collects condensation under the evaporator for the aircon under the dash. If you leave the car running with the aircon on you will see a continual drip coming from the end of the drain hose [ feel it , it will be cold ], it is normal for it continue to drip a little after you turn off the engine after running the aircon.
