Noticed a possible problem today. An area on underneath the passenger side of the engine behind the wheel well was leaking water. I looked everywhere as well as I could, and couldn't find the source. It's water, no oil, no coolant. Any ideas? It's almost time for the servicing, but I wanted to see if it's something simple or have the dealership look at it.

If you're certain it's just water it's likely the AC drain. However, I had a leak there on my previous Ram and it ended up being a hairline crack in my coolant tank at the seam.

Look at the fire wall , just to the pass side exhaust manifold . The A/C drain exits there .

AC drain if U 100% sure it is just water. Also check inside pax area carpet and under dash and insure not wet, cause if your AC drain is clogged, that be a problem also.
CAVEAT: This is for 5th Gen RAM, earlier model years may have drains in different place.

do you have a Sunroof on your Ram ?

There are at least 2 drain tubes at the rear of the front right tire.

the first one is from your A/C unit Condenser
It drips almost perfectly in line with the front door & fender line.

The second one is from a drain hose, that comes down from windshield, then under the hood cowl, then drains at a point below the firewall
