I noticed today that I have a leak coming from the bottom of my car, just about 3 feet or so to the left of the front right tire. After touching it, it doesn't feel particularly oily nor does it have any scent or color to it.

I remember when I got my oil changed about 4 months ago I was told that the oil pan was leaking so I took it to the dealership but they said there doesn't seem to be any problems. Could this be the issue?

I attached some pictures. They're not the greatest but it was hard to get a good picture.

1st photo - Taken from the front right side of the vehicle and shows where the liquid is dripping.
2nd photo - Taken from the front right side of the vehicle. The liquid is dripping down into this area, possibly from somewhere higher up.

Thank you for your help.

Taste it it's probably water dripping form the a/c working it is supposed to do that so you don't get musty smells in heater box. If it doesn't drain your floor on passenger side will get all wet

It it normal for their to be a large amount of it? After stopping in the store for 15 minutes their was a pretty good amount on the ground when I came back out to my car. Much more than shown in the picture.

The amount of water depends on how hot and humid it is out side. If it's like 85 and humid say 60% then there can be a good sized puddle there. Or if it's hot like desert conditions. It's quite normal. If you live in the south then it's really good because it's humid there most of the time. A/c cools and drys the air out so they have to have a drain on it. Even if you live in a house your furnace will have adrain for the a/c.

It's 93 with around 45% humidity so I guess it would just be water draining like you said. Thank you for your help.
