Leaking water !
Need some help took the car on a road trip and after driving around I noticed some water leaking from the front under the passenger side of the bumper a pretty decent amount I don't think it leaks while driving much I think it's more after I park and the system depressurize. Would I be able to put a stop leak just to get it home I have a 3 hr drive any help would be appreciated I'm in the middle of the country nothin is open Sunday

Umm, nothing in this car has water. All you see for water coming from the car is from the A/C condenser. You see a lot more on hot or humid days.

Just wait until it's cool down and drive home. Watch the temp, I think you have broken cooler pipe, only leaks when the engine stops while hot, no leaks when engine is running.

So I shouldn't add water to the coolant reservoir?

If it's low, go ahead. Is it leaking water or coolant onto the pavement?

Just a heads up, my car dumped a bunch of water when I parked last night, what was happening was the condensate from the A/C had collected in the belly pan, and where I parked, the front corner was the low point the water could escape when it couldn't on the flatter roads. If it is a coolant leak, it will do it again, so go ahead and next time it does, dab your finger in it and smell it(or taste it if you're feeling bold,) it will clearly have a smell or taste if it's coolant. If it seems by every measure to be water, it's water and don't worry.
