Drips even when car is parked. And dripping constantly for the last 2 weeks. A/c not in use just heating.

1. AC will run even when heat is on to dehumidify the air... condensate will drain.

2. After parking, condensate continues to drain for up to a few hours.

3. Why would you not SIMPLY slide under the car and identify the pipes/holes/spots that are dripping this mystery fluid. Take a picture. Or look on realoem for the location of the condensate drip lines to see if these are them.

4. Or take it to the dealer.....

Just put a piece of paper or towel under where it drips. See what color the fluid is, as fluids in a modern car only mean certain things. From the top of my head,

Blue: Windshield wiper fluid
Brown or black: Engine oil
Red: Transmission fluid or brake fluid
Green, orange, yellow: Radiator anti-freeze
Clear: Water, Diesel exhaust fluid (urea), or some brands of windshield wiper fluid
Oily yellow: fuel
Yellow-clear, non-oily: rust + water
