Unhappy Trouble with brand new Hybrid Highlander

I am very concerned because I just purchased a used 2006 hybrid highlander yesterday, and today I noticed a seemingly clear leak coming from under the vehicle. Of course, the car came as is and the only warranty is for the engine or something of that nature. Does anyone know what this problem might be? Tell me I didn't be a lemon!!

AC condensation? Where is the leak located at? Usually the AC drips down near the passengers side front tire.

It seems to be coming from the front, middle part of the vehicle.

I would be willing to bet it's your AC condensate. Does it have Auto temp or were you running the AC prior to noticing it? One quick way to check is drive it with the AC/Auto temp off for awhile and see if you still notice it.

The 06 HH is a great and reliable vehicle.

It's most likely water from the AC.

If it's not clear, come back with the color. That will positively idenitfy it.
