Default a lot of condensation.

so latley as it has began to get hot out here i have been starting to use my a/c, and when i park it anywhere the water just come pouring out underneath. i usually get a nice little puddle even when parked for just a min. they only thing i can think its coming from is from my ac condensation, its hard to really see exactly where its from since i park on an incline so it runs out a couple places. is there really any amount of water that should be any sort of cause for concern.

I'd check the A/C condensate drain for clogs.

Alabama...it's humid here in the south (Texas and Florida for me). We are entering the "Africa hot" summer.

Normal for the A/C to drain like this. I turn the engine off, come out an hour later, fire up the engine, and it will "puke" out a glass of water out of the A/C drain tube.

Bucko's right. I misread your post originally and thought you meant it was coming out on your passenger side floorboard.

Took a trip up to New York City to be a groomsman in my buddy's wedding.

Bucko,
Mine does this too, why doesn't it leak out until the truck is started?
Is there some kind of gate that holds it back?

Don't understand why the condensate does not drain even without the engine running. It should, mine does. A mold/mildew situation would arise if the vehicle is not driven regularly, or if the condensate drain is plugged.
