Water dripping - normal?

Hi, I see water dripping from the front/center of the car. Is it normal / AC condensation, or something more? It is colorless and odorless, and def feels like water.

Two sources of water:

AC condensation or water from cats that could leak out from downpipe or exhaust. Both normal.

no i mean after driving the car the water from the ac hits a heat shield or exhaust and sizzles. when you experience that don't be alarmed.

Right, makes sense.

I’m just a little paranoid at the moment since I was told I need to replace the O2 sensors soon and also have a minor rear diff leak.
