Under car leak

So I had to go over a speed bump in my 2012 panamara at my kids school. Went really slow but hit slightly. Noticed when I came home there is a slow clear liquid leak under the drivers side front of car. It's been 2 hours and car still hasn't cooled down all the way.

Now this is the thing. After I hit, I stayed in the same parking space for 30 minutes and did not see any leakage. I noticed it when I drove 3 miles home that it was leaking as I arrived home. Any ideas?

Any chance it's from the A/C?

Get it checked out at a local porsche mechanic. next time though, make sure you drive over speed bumps at a slight angle (sounds silly but the car is pretty low). Hope its nothing major!

With as many under car "covers" that this car has, you would have to really hit and drag to do any damage to lines...take a look underneath and you will mainly see the exhaust and a front and rear full cover. There are no lines hanging or in close proximity to the road surface so as previously mentioned probably AC condensation collecting. I recently bottomed out on a speed bump and came to a stop. Backed up sounded like I was extricating the bottom of the gear box......got it up on my lift and just had a slight flat spot on exhaust and a scrape on an exhaust flange....
