Default Yes. Here is what I would do (insert disclaimer here) stick your finger in it and taste it >
if it is water you are fine, if it is not you may be leaking something, if it burns like hell call the poison center...

Seriously, sounds normal.

No - blinker fluid is yellow, brake light fluid is red (unless you buy ATE super blue).

Another thing, there is no liquid in the a/c system. It's gas, with a little bit of oil.

Freon is a liquid between the condensor and expansion valve. Of course you can't see it that way

correct, but any *leak* would not be liquid.

Default OMG - you mean there's water in the air ! That explains those fluffy white things in the sky ...
As long as it wasn't after taking the S for a swim then just relax, it means the A/C is doing it's job and reducing car-interior humidity.
