Default Re: Where is This Water Coming From?

When I pull up into my driveway, I notice several water spots left by my SRT6 on the pavement. My car just sits long enough to allow the garage door to open, but I have seen about five spots trailing up the driveway about the size of a half dollar. These only occur after I have driven the car, not when I leave. I know the logical thought would be from the air conditioning, but I am familiar with that and this occurs even when the air conditioning, fan, etc are all off. I have not noticed any water on the garage floor, or anything I can see under the hood. Coolant levels are fine and the car doesn't run over mid-temp even on the hottest days. I have never had a car do this, so I am perplexed. If it is a sign of impending trouble, I would like to know before my no-deductible warranty expires. Or is this normal for this type engine?

Thanks for your input.
I recall on some cars (all?) the a/c works even when you do not turn it on, this is to dehumidify the air. In humid conditions the coil frosts up and when the ice melts it will leave a trail of water.
