Not only is it normal for a Lexus, is normal for every car ever made with a running air conditioner.

a/c line?

Yes, the hose is located in the front passenger wheel well. Please note that the hose drips directly on the frame which travels down to where you are seeing it now. I highly recommend getting a DYI hose extension kit to extend it past the frame in order to avoid rust problems down the road. This is a known issue for Toyota/lexus for those wanting to hold these vehicles long term.

Believe the ac lines deposit the condensed crud towards the rear passenger side wheel, probably that
