Water Leak
Guys,
Where do you think this leak is coming from? Took it the dealer, they did a coolant pressure test, and couldn't find anything.
The video was taken under the rear passenger side to the right of the center muffler.

You should try loading your video on YouTube because it can only be seen on certain platforms.
Since I can't see the video at the moment I can't comment,but coolant should have a particular smell and should be oily to the touch.

No, I have not replace the coolant cap. However, the leak is coming from the passenger side. Correct me if I am wrong the coolant cap is located on the driver side, and I asked the dealer about what is on the passenger side that will cause this leak, they couldn't think of anything.

Are you sure it is coolant? Is it pink with a sweet smell?
I find it odd that the dealer would let you drive out of there with a leak and not make more effort to find it.

Usually exhaust condensation will come out of the tips on start up. Had you just ran the vehicle when you made the video? Is it hot or humid where you are? Could it be condensation off the AC system?
Open the engine cover when it is leaking and look at the AC pipes and hoses and see if they have condensation on them.

Southern CAL, I think we get rain maybe 3 times a year. Not humid, and yes I just ran the vehicle about 15 miles when I took the video. The condensation doesn't look like they are from the exhaust tips. I am thinking it is the AC condensation, but the dealer said the A/C condensation should come out from the center of the car.

Manufacturers design exhaust systems with weep holes to allow condensation to escape,thus preventing rust from water buildup after you shut it off. In Porsche's case I haven't seen a weep hole for the exhaust system and most condensation does escape thru the tips,but you might be having an exhaust leak.
Or,as mentioned,it could be from AC.
