Leak at back of engine was created by jimny456!

Hi All

New owner here of a 2005 Jimny.

Noticed a leak at the back of the engine bay this morning. A constant drip basically. Coming from the back of the engine bay here - sorry the photo isn't great.

Any ideas what it is?

Many thanks

What does the fluid look like? Oil? Water??
Is the engine running? Is the air conditioner on??

My suspicion is that you're looking at the a/c evaporator drain - in which case the fluid will be clear water, and probably cold.
