Default Water Dripping

Hey all my 2016 lexus nx200t starting dripping water whenever you start the vehicle, its pure water no odor no color and it leaks constantly if the vehicle is running. What could be the issue with this ?

It's probably normal air conditioner condensation?

Yup, this. Completely normal when the AC is on.

Where is it dripping from? If it's dripping near the catalytic converter or the muffler, that's condensation and the exhaust system is doing it's job.

If it's not coming from the two items I just mentioned above, it's likely from your A/C system if you've turned it on... Then again, it's very unlikely it would start to condensate so quickly... If I was a betting man, I'd say it's the exhaust doing it's job.

Car exhaust is sealed and the only hole is an exhaust pipe, and cannot drip water, as there are no holes along its length. If there would be a hole in exhaust, you will hear hissing sound or loud "burp". I said in general, as old stile mufflers had a small hole punched close to exhaust pipe. NX does not have it.
