Condensate in winter

noticed under the right side of my engine compartment that there’s puddles of what looks like condensate? It has been really cold here and I am wondering if having the defroster on makes the air conditioner compressor have the same condensate like in summer?

Generally the AC compressor runs when in defrost.

Two reasons, the evaporator drys the air inside the vehicle; and, running the AC occasionally keeps the seals lubricated.

Haha, @geo1 beat me to it
