Question She wont stop flowing.

During the summer and even now i dont use my a/c. I just roll down the windows. Well when i shut off my jeep i looked under it and on the right front side was clear liquid flowing constantly like a river. I dont know where its coming from or what it is.

Sounds to me like your A/C clutch is ceased. Your A/C compressor is probably running constantly when your engine is running regardless of your climate control settings.

Unplug the two wire connector at the compressor clutch, also the connector on top of thr reciever / dryer , this will keep the electric fan from running unnecesarily

A/C compressor should not run in "vent" or "heat" mode. If it is, something is wrong.
