Default Water leak... But radiator full

Hi guys bit of a strange one this, short drive then parked up at a supermarket carpark n saw fluid leaking from under the car. It was dark but when i shone a light tge water seemed clear. My rad fluid has coolant and is a greeny colour the water did not smell fishy as rad fluid does. It was leaking from the plastic shield under the front of the car from the left side only it was dripping for about 2 minutes before it stopped. Went home quickly and parked up, 2 hours later after cool i opened up the rad cap and it was full to the top as was the resavoir bottle at max level. Its not oil and there is no wet patch under where i park the car. Its on a hill facing down, turned it facing up and still
No leak. Has anyone experienced anything similar? I took a sharp bend at speed before i parked so it may be some water that has trickled down from this mornin rain that may have come through its drainage route?

Assuming the drain is on the compressor, at the front of the engine bay as it's driven by the auxiliary belt
