water dripping in this area can be caused by pitting or rust holes underneath the battery. pull the battery and inspect the battery tray for rust, holes, or any pitting and or separation of the seam sealer in that area.

or your battery area drain is plugged, and the retaining water is coming down the mountain. VERY COMMON

I also had this happen when the ac condensor drain plugged up, if you ran the a/c too long it would start flowing out in that area.

Did this happen after a car wash or rain? Has the A/C been operating a lot? 3 things have already been discussed in posts from above but If it's been raining or car wash and the other items were not the problem, pull off the A pillar interior covering (windshield to passenger window frame. There's a drain tube in there that drains water from the sunroom channel. It gets old and shrinks (kinda like me) and pulls apart on the metal tube. Just put in a splice and it'll fix that issue. The rusted battery box is a common issue and sometimes you can't see the rust because it under the box. Get a dental mirror and flashlight and take a look.

Thanks everyone. Looks like it only happen when I turn on AC. I gotta test it again tonight.

I clean up the battery tray and don't see a drop of water at all. I use air compressor with 150psi to blow the little plastic tube between the left fender and the battery just in case its plugged. Hopefully I didn't blow the tube off

Where is the AC condensor drain?

If I remember correctly it's behind the radio under the blower motor. It was 10 years ago that I did mine, I can remember exactly how to get at it.
