I suppose. If you're not ready for a science lesson that comes from the fifth grade, I suggest you turn away now. Warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air because heat makes matter expand (usually) and cold makes thing contract (except for water and rubber). When the air cools, the cooler air can hold less water so it must leave the air as rain or just water puddles. Wow, that's thelongest answer I've ever written on this site.

Yep, that's perfectly normal. Air conditioning units dehumidify the air inside the house, and this water they extract is discarded by the outside central air unit. This is particularly the case in very humid climates or on humid days.
But if it hasn't done this before and it's starting to all of a sudden, and if you're concerned about it, you might just want to get a refrigeration mechanic to have a quick look at it, just to be on the safe side.
From the sounds of it, though, it sounds to me like it's just an air conditioning unit doing what it normally does. :o)

Yes, it is very normal. Air conditioners cool, in part, by removing water from the inside air. The water drains to the outside. Right now, I would love to have water puddling outside my a/c, but until it gets fixed, it ain't going to happen.

Well there will be water due to condensation. The air unit gets cold in certain places and moisture will stick to it as surrounding air cools. If it's a pudding form, it might have something to do with what it is mixing with as water drops from the unit.

Yes, it has an outlet from the condenser, tha pulls excess humidty out of the air and leads to condensation. Mine makes a small lake at the outlet point.

Yes, This is called condensation. If it is in excess, lets call a repair man. If you have some knowledge or do some research on line you can learn to D-I-Y.

**Yes its the humidity in the air that the unit is removing. Nothing to worry about, it shows that the unit is working.

no it should not puddle.
Water will come out of the unit when in use but there should be a drain pipe so it is released away from the unit.

No, not on a central A/C system, your outside coils should not be collecting condensation. You may be low on freon.
