Most heater settings on a modern car with Air Conditioning will cause the A/C compressor to kick on. This is to remove moisture from the inside air and prevent frosting of the windshield and windows. The air conditioner coils accumulate the moisture which drips down and through a small tube or hose and out the bottom of the car. That's what you are seeing, if it's clear water.
On the other hand, if it's coolant (antifreeze) you have a leaking heater core.

Why would you hear water running if no water was in use?
My bet would be the hot water heater cycling water through
What is wrong if your car is losing water by the cataytic converter?
The only water that should be dripping out in that general area would be condensation from the AC running.
How do you know when hot water heater temp pressure relief valve is faulty?
If the water is dripping, I would replace it just to be safe. It doesn't cost much money.
What is the meaning of the word dripping?
If something is "dripping", then it usually means that water is coming from it slowly and intermittently. For example, if a wet towel is hung on a rail, it would be "dripping" water.
What would cause gasoline to drip out of the tailpipe when a 16 valve 4 cylinder Geo Tracker's engine is running?
If it's running, then it couldn't be raw gas. You are seeing water dripping from the accumulation of the water vapor. Absolutely normal.
What would a water pump leak look like?
it would have a crack with water dripping or spraying out of it.
On a 1991 Ford Aerostar with Dual Heat why would you have water running on the ground on the passenger side?
This is an indication that your heater core is leaking. To stop the leaking you will have to replace the heater core or stop using your heater.
Is dripping saturated or unsaturated?
Saturated means more than it can hold so dripping wet would be saturated with water.
You have antifreeze leaking only when car is running It is dripping down underneath the passenger side next to trasmission It is pure coolant You changed thermostat?
I would check the hoses leading into your radiator, and also the overflow for antifreeze. If that is not the problem, it could be your heater core. Your heater core might be leaking, you might have a hose leaking
Why would a hot water heater only running for about 30 seconds Anyone have any thoughts as to why?
either your hot water heater has been installed incorrectly or the thermostat has been set too low Sorry to butt in BUT there is NO THERMOSTAT on a hot water heater there is a AQUASTAT and sometimes the heater short cycles just to maintain the SET temperature
What is the point of using a hot water heater?
It is a water heater, not a hot water heater. There would be little point in using a hot water heater. I assume that is your point.
How can you tell if it is freon or water dripping from your window air conditioner?
its water. you wouldn't see "freon" r-22 dripping from it. it would boil off before youd ever be able to see it.
