If your engine is at temp and you are getting cold water dripping, it must be something to do with the air conditioning system.
Locate your ac compressor and watch the pulley while the engine is running and you think the AC is off. If it is truly off, the outer pulley will spin with the belt but the inner part will not move. If your AC is actually running, whether by design or through malfunction, the inner part of the pulley will engage intermittently and activate the compressor.
I'm unsure of your "mix" setting on the heater. I am guessing it either means a mix of outside and inside air or it runs the AC compressor to dry out the air even when using heat.
Another thought : I do know that there are some cars that still run the AC system at a lower level at all times to dry out the air and avoid any window fogging, even when the heat is on.
