Parked my 996 yesterday and noticed that liquid was coming from the front, behind the wheels. It was about a cupful, then stopped. It looked like water but can't be sure. Is it the a/c and is it healthy? Any input much appreciated.

Both sides or just one and how long did the flow continue for?

Seemed to come from the middle just in front of the dash. Flow stopped after 2-3mins.

Almost certainly condensed water from the air-con.

Yep. Sounds like it. Next time you see it dripping dip your finger in it. If its just clean water then it was from the air con. If it smells of coolant, is oily etc then you may have a problem.

If its just condensed water from the air-con this would appear to be entirely normal.

Its often only seen on humid days.

Last week I had a HGV on my drive (which is on a slope). What seemed like gallons of condensation poured out. Driver looked a tad glum until I shoved my hand in it and pronounced it condensation.

I had same issue with my GT3 about 2 weeks ago. It was a very sticky day and the water was falling onto something hot as I negotiated a car park ramp. Resulting steam made me wonder whether something else had let go, but thankfully not.
