While parked lately I'm finding a small puddle of water under the car where water condensation usually accumulates when A/C is on. Problem! Its Fall and I have been using the Heater. Is it possible that both the Heater & A/C are on at the same time. The puddle is not Anti Freeze but real water (Condensation from A/C)
I recently moved from Colorado to NY, From Dry to Humid Climate.

That is actually a normal condition, if there is humidity in the air then you will get a condensation drip underneath the vehicle, but it is normal for the a/c compressor to come on when the heater is in defrost mode, and you can get a condensation drip if it is humid out and the heater is on.
