Hi just got home from a 50mile trip and when I parked up I noticed about a large cupful of water had dripped from a black pipe looking outlet underneath passenger side area just behind engine, seems clear water, didnt have aircon on ??? am I being paranoid

Probably is from the AC, did you have it set on Auto? as will still cycle the AC on and off.

When i first noticed a pool of water under my car from that area i almost cried! But it was the ac condensor!

Sounds like condensation from the air con.

Nothing else in the car uses/produces clear water

thanks guys, thought so, only had civic a few weeks so over cautious.

I also checked coolant tank first and was right up to cap? could this be due to hot engine?

Not sure, think I had windscreen fan on, is that defaulted to auto ac?

I would check this when its cold if i was you it does expand but i dont know how much! if it is above maximum its easy to siphon off with abit of pipe!

I mentioned the water from the condensor to a bloke at honda and he said yeah a few people came in not knowing about it but its so clean you can drink it apparently if you ever get thirsty

thanks, will check when cold

It's very disconcerting, especially when you walk into the garage and hear a drip....drip....drip from under the car!

When i activate the demister on my Si the A/C goes on and the fan goes to max speed.
