Default Leaking fluid

My blob wrx was parked outside, I had got out the car to talk to someone and left it running. About 5 minutes later about 500ml - 1ltr (hard to judge) of water was leaking from what appeared to be around the back of the engine/behind dash area onto the road.

Anyone have any ideas what this is, I've checked all basic fluids and everything is fine, car runs fine also. The A/C was on at the time could it be this? I very rarely use it so this is what I'm thinking, I haven't tried it since just incase I cause any damage, any help is appreciated

Sniff it and rub it between finger and thumb. It's probably aircon condensation which is normal.
