Why is there a big puddle of water under my car?
Water: if it’s water, and you know you’ve been running the air conditioner or interior heater, it’s likely just condensation from the cooling mechanisms. Specifically, the evaporator core leaks water from under the passenger side of the engine compartment when the air conditioner is being used. This is normal use.

Added: The heat from the brake system should dry them very quickly.
