When i crank up my jeep there is a small amount of water that leaks out of the motor. I cannot tell where it is leaking from, is this my radiator? Does anyone know what may be causing this?

Where is this water collecting? is it actually water, or coolant? Are you running just strait water through your system? Give us some more info to work with please.

Its not coolant, and from what i can see is its coming from somewhere around the radiator. Its dark right now but tomorrow im gonna get up under it and try and see exactly where its coming from. It may just be my ac but im not sure.

Flashlights work wonders
it isnt normal for your ac to leak water around the rad area. There is no source for actual water in that location that i can think of, unless you are running water in your cooling system.
