Exclamation water leak

I got a 2018 roush f150 with an aftermarket Whipple supercharger on it. A week ago I noticed a hissing sound and some water dripping out of the front radiator assembly. The water seemed clear but had a somewhat foul odor. Upon further inspection, the leak seemed to be coming from the skinny small ac looking radiator in front of the main radiator. right at the passenger side bottom corner of it, there was a kind of forceful drip of clear water and then it stopped after about a half an hour and has not leaked since then. drove it home and no heating problems or anything and the coolant level seems fine. no noticeable problems with anything so just wondering what that leak could be and if it is bad. I was thinking it could be something with the condensate extractor maybe that's where the outlet is for it but really have no other ideas.

Isn't that the AC radiator? Have you checked to see if your AC is working?

A/C condensor? Is there some kind of liquid-cooled intercooler?
