OK, so you were driving 115mph this morning and now tonight it is leaking water...? Could it be condensation from the exhaust? Leaking exhaust? Your car has no clear water in it, so I wouldn't be too worried about it. Has it rained lately where you are?

It's pretty common on lots of cars for condensation from the AC to travel a bit before it drips. If it's clear and has no odor, that's most likely all it is. Just double check that your coolant has antifreeze (to a visible color) in it so you can be sure it definitely isn't that.

+1 if its clear....

Check radiator and overflow tank for coolant level (when car is cold). If levels are normal then you have nothing to worry about. IF levels are really low, something to worry about

Water pump? I had water coming out similar to what you are describing but I would only see it after the car was sitting for a while.
