Default Water leaking help

Just bought a 2011 Cayenne, love it so far but there seems to be water dripping from an area just behind the right front wheel. Took a pic of it. Not sure what I'm looking it under there. Should I take it to the dealer?

Thanks,
Jacob

i believe this is where the water drain plug is located so this is normal. Water pours out from just behind the wheel arch liner when it rains etc. Jus to be safe keep an eye on your coolant level and i would taste the water to check it isnt coolant also.

May also be the a/c drain area behind the right front wheel.

I would give it a feel test rather then "taste the water" since antifreeze is fairly poisonous. If it just feels like water - that's likely all it is. If it feels "slick" it may be coolant.
