I was parked in my car for 35 minutes and had the air conditioner on. Do you think that the condensation from the air conditioner is the culprit or may this be a more serious problem? Thank you kindly!

This time of year it's probably condensation; especially if it doesn't have a green "anti freeze" tint. Check the fluid levels a bit more often the next few days.

When the refridgerant in the a/c system goes through the evaporater inside the dash of your car, it is extremely cold. At that point the moisture from the incoming warm air condenses on the evaporater into water. (Like moisture on a cold soda can) Then, because it's not needed, it just drains out. When your car is not moving it drains to a little puddle beneath your car (front passenger side, of course)

Just in case, check if you do not have leaks from your cooling system, but probably it's condensation dripping from air conditioner, which is absolutely normal (it should drip and sometimes it drips a lot. It's normal.)

99.9% of the time what you're seeing is water dripping from the condensor-thats normal. If the puddle is green, black, or red you have a leak. Dip a finger in and smell it. If it isn't water you'll know.

It's your air conditioner. Don't worry.

Yep. You answered your own question. If you are in an especially humid location or if you aren't running your blower on high, ice develops on the coil and as it melts, it drips.

which would be in simple terms the condensation from a/c. not something to agonize approximately. basically for the sake of argument, examine engine coolant point, and the different fills (the guidance liquid, brakes liquid)

As long as it is clear water, that is a good sign!

if it was just water you are fine. it should just be condensation from the AC
