Default HELP LIQUID LEAKING

I installed my boost gauge today and in the process we came across this clear tube. My dumb dumb friend pulled it up thinking it was loose in there, but when he did he said he felt it disconnect from something. The one end of the tube was very dirty, the other was completely clean. When I pulled my car into the garage tonight, i could her something dripping. I looked under and sure enough on my passanger side about a foot behind the front tire there is a clear liquid with no smell dripping. What the hell happened?...

Could it be for the a/c? Anyone know anything about this. Is there a site with a list of fluids or anything? I need help on this cause I need the car first thing in the morning and im not sleeping till this is fixed.

Can you place a piece of paper underneath of it. What color is it? Green? Red? Clear? Feel it with your fingers, oily? Specific area it is leaking from?

When it's hot and humid the A/C condenses lots of water.

wouldn't the air-con system use metal pipes instead of the flexable clear pipe mentioned?

if it's leaking behing the wheel maybe it's leaking brake fluid (have you checked all your levels)?

The liquid was clear with no taste...and yes Tom i did it. Turns out it was just a/c water. Sorry to sound like such a newb, its just never leaked like that before. It was really pouring and I wasnt in the best state of mind so it freaked me out. Thanks for the help. But im still not sure what the tube is I pulled out...
