Evaporator drain.
It's in the hump in the floor, under the dash, in front of the centre console.
Over the long weekend I drove from Sydney to Port Macquarie in my MY17 Super 206 Sedan. Everything was pleasant and the drive was amazing. Today I stopped near lighthouse beach and I noticed a bit water/liquid underneath the car, I wasn't sure if it was coming from my car as I parked in spot where another car has just moved. Anyway, I drove around 8 KMs to BP petrol station to fill up before heading back to Sydney, I looked again underneath the car, and again there was a bit of water and it was dripping non stop.
I took a picture to show where the dripping is coming from (front wheels). Is that the AC condenser drainage? I've had the car for 5 weeks and I use the AC all the time, but I haven't seen any water draining from the car before.
Many thanks.

Better out, than in.
It's just condensation on the evaporator core, since it's significantly colder than amibent temperature.
The drain is near the exhaust, in the heat shield, in the hope it will evaporate in that area. Given the heat and humidity of our summer it will puddle like that.

Thanks,
I really got worried because I have never seen this much water coming out from that area in any of my cars before, I kept an eye on the water temperature (stayed sharp on 90 degrees) and oil temperature (104 - 109), so I kept driving until I reached home All is good.
