Yellow leaking fluid

Hi,

After parking, I noticed a strange fluid leaking from this hole. Anyone know what it is?

I'll try to get a better video later. I was in a rush since I had to go meet some people.

From the video it looks like just clear water which is normal if your AC is on, perhaps if turned yellow or dirty from the ground itself?

My friend, that looks like water from the AC dripping and discoloring from whatever you parked over.

You guys may be right. I just drove to work with the AC off and there was no water leaking when I parked. But I'm just wondering if that amount of leaking is normal?

It can be a bunch depending on the humidity and the temp. Here in New Mexico all our cars leave puddles 6+ inches in diameter if it's been running awhile.
