Just over a week has passed and the water had gone down about an inch from the MAX level mark on the tank (in another week it will drop about another inch).

• Ford C-MAX - Water leaking under car HELP! 18 Jul 2014 (Forum)
  Hi - I just discovered water dripping out from under my ford focus c-max. I'm sure it's water - I tasted it! Its dripping down from below approx where the handbrake is, or slightly towards the drivers side, and spreading out. There is a protective plate over the entire bottom of the car so it's hard to see exactly where it is coming from.
