More issues with my X5...

Well...slowly finding more issues with the X5. (pics below)

1) Does the X5 drip lots of water? i noticed this before but not that apparent until today. AC was on but at the lowest setting. I was driving up my driveway slowly, then parked under the carport for 2 mins (unloading stuff while car running) then parked in garage.
Saw a puddle and and a line of drips all the way down the driveway. Smelt the puddle and appears to be water. Looked under car and can see it dripping from the area in pic below. Is this normal?


2) Looked under the hood to check stuff, seems there is a leak from the coolant reservoir, not sure if a crack on the reservoir or bad cap.


3) Hearing a hissing sound from under the car....almost coming from the area where there's the water drip in #1.
I have the sound clip below, can hear a slight hiss, but more apparent when under the car.

I just got a feeling this car is going to 'bomb' on me real soon...

thanks
