1st off, where do you live? Is it still hot out and have you been using your A/C? This is a normal location for the condensate drain from the HVAC housing. Condensation is normal during A/C operation.

When you say 'about six inces from the tire', do you mean to the inside, or behind it, or to the outside? This might help zero in. Plus, I believe our defroster setting uses the a/c compressor.

Yes, the defroster uses the a/c to dry the air inside the cabin to aid in defrosting the windshield.

Well, there ya go, mane187. Looks like you've just got a normally working condensation drain.
