Leaking water ?
Hi, so the 'problem' looks like that. After stoping i saw some liquid leaking from under my car. Its goin somewhere around the gearbox/clutch (i didnt look very carefully cos i didnt went on ramp). When i look under liquid was dropping thru this metal protection under the catalisator. Around 50 ml i think. I touch it and smeel it and it seems that was like a water . So i ignore it. Move car somewhere else and there was no leaking. I checked all the liquids under a bonnet. Everythink seems ok, altought coolant level is much above full limit (when engine is cold, coolant is tiny bit under a full limit).
That day i took car for longer trip, around 60 miles one way and on destination i was driving on very big hill roads, on 'mountain' roads. Never done it before, crazy. With 4 people on board and around 85F / 30C temperature. Then i saw leak. We went to walk around, came back and for trip back home.
Again 60 miles on motorway. Av speed 100 mph (i hit 130 something, road was ending)
Came back home, stop, Im looking under car and the same!!! Something is leaking. Touch it, smell it and now i even taste it... just like a tap water !!
I think becouse i done driving on hot day, on hill roads, fast on motorway with 4 people, engine was takin more coolant. And after i stop engine just throw away useless water out. But Im not sure ofkos. No lights on dashboard, everything runs smooth. Any advice ? (I change clutch two weeks ago as well, i got some strange sound on 4th gear 40-60 mph only, like metal is touching metal. I dont know if this connected to leak)
Please help, is worried me

And yes i was using AC, was very hot that day. I cant say 100% it looks like water, when it droppin on ground, i wasnt able to see color. But Im also 99% sure its clear, there was no color marks on my fingers after i touch it. It really taste like mineral water. Liquid wasnt warm as well, i can say it was quite cold. Its leaking from beetwen level of front winscreen and gearbox, in the vertical middle of car. But you cant see where is coming from. Just imagine that area but under car. There i saw its dropin water. It got sense it can be condensation. Is it normal ? I never use AC for so long, and i never had car with AC before.
