W/regards to my last post, I took the guy's advice (thanks) and just took it in. They replaced the spark plugs & the wiring and it works great now! There were some weird pops coming out of the engine beforehand I wasn't too concerned about but they disappeared with the new plugs.

Anyway, current problem : it's hot out now, and I rode around today for a few hours with the air conditioning going. In a parking lot I noticed a pool of stuff coming out from the left hand side (facing the front of the car). I smelled it and checked it out - it wasn't antifreeze green nor all thick like antifreeze is, and it wasn't oil. What is it? What should I do?

Probably nothing. It is just water? If it is, that's completely normal. The cold parts of the air conditioning system will attract water in the air on a humid day which condenses and then drips off as water. I wouldn't worry unless it is some other type of fluid.
