Too hard to tell but usually just plain old H2O is from condensation or driving in the rain. It can 'puddle up' pretty quick. What was your last driving excursion? A/C on? Rainstorm? If you haven't driven it recently then I have no idea where plain old water would come from. The radiator overflow tank would have color and so would the windshield washer reservoir if either developed a crack or leak.

I get a little condensation underneath my car close to my catback clamp joint. Are you running a clamped together catback?

its just condensation from the evaporator. The vehicle is equipped with drains to route this condensation to the road.
