My step-grandfather first noticed the fluid leaking from the passenger side of the car on the side of the street where I had been parking my car going back and forth from there to school all summer. We checked it out and initially thought it to be A/C drainage. Almost 6 months later it is still leaking and I am growing concerned that I might have a serious (expensive) problem on my hands. The car has been handling normally over these last 6-7 months, and I haven't noticed any changes.

You can see from the photos the gleam of the liquid dropping from what looks to be an intended drain, but I'm just not quite sure.

Thank you for any help!

My guess is either power steering or valve covers

your A/C pipes build condensation - and forever will leak. its totally normal(every car and AC unit will do this).

just make sure its clear water building up, and not something else. make sure 100% that is clear, not slippery, nor smelly.
