im not sure it might be since it comes from under neath the ac ,but it is alot of water , more than what i would think of as condensation. like after i run the car i park it and it is a steady drip 1 drip every 1-2 seconds for about 10 minutes. also it happens when i dont have the ac running.?

The A/C is usually working whether you have it on or not. Net time you are done driving pop the hood and watch for it. You can easily tell if the A/C evaporator is sweating(beer can effect). It could be a bad heater hose connection at the firewall as well.

Have you checked the water level in the radiator to see if it needs to be re-filled? That should tell you if it's from the engine or not.
