Unhappy More Water Leakage Talks

I'm not sure how long it's been doing that, but only last week I noticed there is liquid leaking out to the ground from my 06 TC when I parked the car.

It's coming from the front, I can't pinpoint exactly where. But, I can tell you it's water. It would leak for several minutes, then stops completely. Then drips again the next time when I park the car, so it's not leaking over night or anything like that. Before you ask, I don't usually have the AC on, so I have ruled out condensation. I tried taking it to my mechanic earlier, but he was too busy. So, I thought to ask all of you TC experts there.. should I really be worried that this could have potential radiator or major problem? I've googled articles after articles. But, no one seemed to have mentioned if their leakage was a continuous thing (as in all night long). 'Cause the ground would be completely dry by the time I leave work in the morning.

Thank you all for reading this!

what color is the fluid? can you smell coolant? Is your coolant fluid level low? If its pink or green its coolant... Im almost positive thats what it is... It could be 3 things... a small leak in your radiator hose, leak in the radiator or your water pump... I would say prob a hose since its coming from the front and if it was the radiator the pressure and heat would cause steam... if its not steaming while driving its a hose because its soft and expands while driving sealing the leak then contracting while cool allowing just a small amount to drip out... you should be able to jack the car up and see where its coming from... look for where the liquid is dripping from you should be able to see easily... get a piece of cardboard and sit it under the car over night so you can pin point where you need to look in the morning...

It's literally water that is dripping. I am taking it to my mechanic to check it out in a couple of hours. Thanks for the reply.

if its water and not coolant it can only be caused by the ac
