If there is a link related to A/C or engine, will I be seeing any link on the ground?
How do I find out?

I read your other question reguarding steam after 15 minutes of driving.
After the engine has cooled down for an hour or so, remove the radiator cap and fill the radiator back up with coolant.
Also, check the coolant resevior for propper fill level.
Over time, water in the cooling system does evaporate.
Mind you, it evaporates very slowly, but over a year or two, it turn out to be quite a bit.
Now, check for leaks under the car. If you find any, see a reputable shop and get an estimate forr repairs. Estimates are free, or should be.

Yo Mr. Know. How does a sealed Ford cooling system loose coolant if the water pump, hoses, clamps and radiator are in perfect working order? In a word it can't. The radiator pressure cap is screwed directly on the top of a pressurized coolant recovery expansion tank. No evaporation ever.
Meanwhile back at the ranch. As everyone has said you must determine what the liquid is. Touch the end of your little figure on the liquid lift less than a mini drop. Stick your tongue out and taste it. If it's sickening sweet the liquid's antifreeze. If it tastes like common water the liquid is evaporation dipping down from the AC unit and there's nothong wrong everythings normal. It it's oil from the AC unit it'll taste like 3-in one sewing machine oil which is pretty gross for a lady. I don't dive a damn what car stuff tastes like. I need to the answers now. If the AC unit works, cools and heats your good to go.

If the engine is leaking oil, you should see a puddle on the ground under the car after it has been parked. Antifreeze (coolant) will leave a green puddle. If the air conditioning is leaking, you may see coolant or water although water may just be condensation if it is a small amount.

The A/C will evaporate and you will mot have a leak on the floor.
Take newspapers and spread them out on the garage floor or on the driveway. Drive the car over the papers and then let it set overnight. In the morning, look at the paper and see what spots are on it. Note the location, (like by the left wheel, or in the center underneath the front seat. eg.)

The a/c is gaseous, doesn't leak anything but condensation from the outside air, water(that's normal). If the engine leaks, it will be anti-freeze/coolant, should be an oily coloured liquid, possibly pink or green liquid.

Usually if you have a leak from the engine it will be either engine oil [dark brown or black] or antifreeze [green or pink]
Transmission - ATF[red]. The A/C lubricant is usually yellowish color. The refrigerant will evaporate when exposed to the atmosphere.
Hope I understood your question.

Link or leak? Tell us what your particular question is exactly. This phrasing is too confused and ambiguous.
