Slow water leak from undercarriage ?

My wife ran over a curb (slowly) and there is some water leakage from the undercarriage. I don't have a lift, but from what I can feel, the outer plastic is brushed off. There is no visible or feelable crack. I fee a few drops of water (clear water) every few seconds. Its right below the front passenger seat.

I won't get a chance to take it in to have it looked at till this weekend, just wondering if anyone has a picture of what is where in the undercarriage?

its a 2008 G35 (journey I believe), auto.

Thanks

Its most likely the Condenser drain, Is the AC on when you see this water?

Thats what I originally thought. But no, the ac was off for the few mins that I checked. But the car is on. Will get a better idea tomorrow when I use it.

A/C drain. It will drop for up to 30 min after you turn off the A/C.

Why do people keep saying condenser drain. Its not a condenser, its an evaporator drain.

no where, unless you have straight water in your windshield washer resevior or Rad...both unlikely. the water like others have said is most likely from the AC drain. Dont use AC for a full day and see if it drips that night. If you leave the vehicle running with the AC on in one spot you will even end up with a big puddle under your car.
