Default Water dripping from transmisson area???

So after a battle of having some what seems to be spark plug/wire issues my transmission (automatic) seems to dripping water after i've stopped. I should be more clear, after i've stopped the jeep, and came back to it after a minute i notice a puddle of water under the transmission and a less than steady drip of water continuing. Any thoughts as to where to look from here?! starting to become uneasy about this jeep; my other '07 was bulletproof.

Is it water or anti-freeze?

Water = condensation drain from the A/C air box.

Anti-freeze = coolant leak at the back of the engine or from the heater hoses.

no a/c has been on, its definitely water or some large amount on condensation (its both clear, and tastes like water). It has been raining in the area the past couple days, but not today, and that's when i've noticed it.

Did you have the vent controls set to one of the windshield positions? That would make the A/C come on to dry the air that blows onto the windshield. The A/C indicator light will remain off if you have not selected A/C.
The water that was removed from the air will drip from the drain hose, which comes through the firewall, over the bell housing.
