    This is normal! What you are seeing is condensation exiting the heater/air conditioning unit located behind your dash board. It is designed to escape in this manner. If it was allowed to gather in the heater box bacteria would form and the heater box would fill and leak water/condensation into the interior of the car. All air conitioned cars have this.
