If it is coolant, you need to get it into a shop to be repaired immediately. May simply be a radiator hose leaking. But might be something more. The risk of not having it repair immediately is engine overheating doing major damage. With the engine cold, check your coolant level. If very low might even be wise to have it towed. ---

Well if it is truly water, then you really have nothing to worry about. AC causes condensation, and that will cause water drips. Could be coming from exhaust too. However if it is coolant, then you probably have a leak somewhere. ---

Yep, in the car, under the car, water, coolant, it all makes a difference. Like the doctor said, can you be a little more specific about where the pain is?
