Q: Leak in the front passenger side under the hood

Leak under the hood passenger side by tire kind of

My car has 156176 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

When you say a leak you would need to see what the fluid is first since this is where the condensate water from the a/c would drip down. If it is clear water then this is the case and is normal. If some other fluid then let a mechanic like one from YourMechanic check it for you to locate the problem for you.
