Default Water leak but no loss of coolant

Hi All,

I really do not know what is going on to my impreza WRX 1996.

After I've been driving the car you see water dripping onto the ground after its parked, its happens after long and short trips,

When you move the car back and check the water on the ground its cold and it doesn't smell like coolant.

I've checked the coolant level and its full.

I am baffled!

Any idea what this is?

Thanks in advanced

Looks like I was wrong, seems like a water pipe is leaking somewhere around the turbo area, coolant tank is empty , not driving her until I can find the leak, I don't want to pop the headgasket, I read somewhere that the thermostat seal can go sometimes?, any one else encountered this issue?

Cheers
