When coming to a stop, there is a trail of water drops behind the vehicle and what appears to be a water leak from the passenger underside. There are two hoses running down which connect to two metal pipes which in turn run to the rear of the vehicle.

The leak appears to originate from higher up with the water then running down and dripping from these pipes.

Assistance is appreciated!

Is it coolant or water? Could it be from the AC?

Definitely not coolant, appears to be just water, ac is my first guess but don't know if it means a blockage somewhere or a more serious problem.

If it is water, chances are the drain hose is plugged with dirt. Under the hood on the passanger side, you will see a rubber hose pointing toward the ground check it to see if there is a blockage. That is most likely the problem.

Let me know what you find.
