Yes I know water leaks when you have the AC on but I think my ES is leaking way to much water. After being on for 2 minutes a large puddle of water appears at the bottom of the car. When the car is driven you can see water leaking it leaves a large trail.

What could this be?

It is still most likely hot humid day condensation and a hard workig AC system. If it was anything else you would have found something like the windshield washer reservoir that was empty and the leaking would have stopped. There is really nothing that looks like water other than the refrigertation drip hose.

Some water may come out of tailpipes too just after starting the car.
Engine/exhaust lines are still cool and water in exhaust gases would condensate and spew out.

It's a very efficient AC system so this is normal condensation from the evaporator.

What stinks is when you're changing the oil and you get a drop of water in your eye while underneath the car. At the time I didn't know if it was water, oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid, power steering fluid, or what. Luckily it was just water from the drip spout on the A/C. But for a moment I was freaked.

I think that eye protection is a must when doing any mechanical work. SRSLY, wear some goggles.
