AC Dripping all day...

I have noticed each day when I leave work and the temp's are in the high 90's that on the passenger side front there is a puddle of liquid on the ground about the size of a soccer ball. I get to work about 7:00 a.m. and leave about 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. and there is still a small drip. So I put my finger in the drip and where it was hitting behind and to the left of the front coil on the rail (passenger side). It didn't feel, look, or smell like oil and was clear. Therefore I thought it was because of the AC - water condensation. Is this normal? I checked all fluid levels everywhere and nothing is wrong anywhere. It has been doing this everyday for the past two weeks since the temp's are soaring.

Mine does as well

temps here are daily in the 100's this time of year, so dont be alarmed by it. My truck spills all day, yet i have no leaks.

Its condensation. Perfectly normal.

I going to elaborate on this. It just the excess condensate that builds up on the evaporator fins and drips off and goes out the drain tube on the firewall. The puddle is normal, if you didn't see it then you should be worried because that usually means the drain is plugged and the excess water will build up and drain out through your floor vents on the passenger side.
