Excessive water dripping from A/C

I've been using my A/C a lot now since it's summer time in So Cal. and I noticed a lot of water dripping from my engine. Do any of you guys have this? It's around 2 tablespoons dropped after maybe about a 30 minute drive with the A/C on to around 70 to 75 degrees... I don't know if this is a problem or not...

[QUOTE=eschiller;2364393]Really should not be a problem - just condensation. My wifes g35 drops a puddle in the garage after she drives it for a little white with the a/c on. I really havent paid much attention to my G37 doing it - but I really don't believe you have a problem. It is very common with all cars with a/c's Take care

Air conditioners do 2 things. Heat removal and moisture removal. Every AC has an inherent dehumidifier. The one in your home is piped into a drain somewhere in your house so you never see it. With cars they just pipe it underneath the car.

I live in North Texas and there is always a huge puddle under my car when I stop.
