R50/53 anti freeze leaking
Look just below the coolant expansion tank to see if there is any dried salty looking deposits on the heat shield. If so, your expansion tank is leaking. Early models had problems with the tanks cracking at the seam in the middle of the tank.
Also, your air conditioner will leak water from condensation on the coils. That is normal, and is most likely what you have seen.
In a pinch, you can top up your coolant tank with distilled water if you don't want to mess with mixing up a little bit of coolant.

Perhaps this goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. That expansion tank is under pressure during or after a drive, so if you're going to pop the cap for any reason, do so with a COLD engine!
