Condensor water out Front of Engine??

Hey there guys and gals! I just noticed today on my 07 that I get some condensor water run off out the FRONT of my engine.. Right under the water pump... As you can imagine when I saw it dripping from that area I had a few choice words until I stuck my hand under there and caught a couple drops and it is just clear water. Pheeewwwwww.. LOLOLOLOL Anyway, I have the regular drips from the passenger side as usual but never knew it would drip from the front.. Anyone else even notice this??? Of course in the summer heat it dries up almost instantly so I just happened to see it today!
Thanks!!

Just got back from the dealer all is well! LOLOL They popped tyhe hood and could see where there was some droplets forming on the Aluminum tubing of the AC lines. They told me that if the AC was COLD and working fine that there was no worries. He also said the condition is prevelant whenre it tends to be more humid outside ( Makes sense) I live in a very dry climate but it has been humid. I asked if it could be refrigerant and they said no, it would escape as a gas ??? Anyway, since it was the 2nd time I drove the truck today it did not to dit hwne I got there nor when I got back home... with the problems I have had, if it is clear cold water I am not worried!! LOLOL

Actually had some time today so I traced my water drip al the way to it's source!! It begins at one of the fittings at the evaporator and makes it's way down a long black rubber AC hose that curls around and finally coinnects to something just above the water pump.. THats the lowest point on the hose and therefore drips there.... So it's evaporator water for sure..
