I noticed after I drive my car and then park there is a leak coming from the bottom. It appears to be a clear liquid and not sure if it is the water pump leak or not.
I noticed the problem after I had run the A/C during my drive so I thought that was a clear sign that it is the water pump. Is that correct?

It sounds like a dissaster! But it's actually NORMAL! When the A/C is running it removes humidity from the passenger compartment, the water is routed out of the car from the evaporator case to the ground. If it was antifreeze, it would be green and sticky, clear and not sticky is the a/c runoff.
