Default Dripping from passenger side frame

i noticed a small puddle on my garage floor today, when i looked underneath my car i have some liquid dripping from the frame. it is just this one spot that is dripping, it does not smell like anything and is clear. i did not find any other wet spots under the vehicle, does anyone know what would cause this?

it is the passenger side, middle of front door

that was my suspicion, but i have never seen this much water before. it was a giant puddle. I've ran the AC during much hotter days and didn't see this much

I've seen that amount of water off of my evaporator before. That seems to be the general location of the drain IIRC

It has more to do with humidity than heat. Depending on where you live and what season it is, it will vary. Perfectly normal. The bigger the puddle the better I feel about the cars enviroment. Some may argue that you don’t want your car to dry you out or dry your eyes out, I am not one of them.

Correct. And we've had a decent amount of rain over the past 2 days - hence more condensation and moisture from the AC system.

thanks everyone. good to know. my previous 4Runner i never saw anything like that in 10 years. it must drip to another location. i have only had this vehicle since Feb, just wanted to be sure.
i cleaned it all up before bed last night and didn't find any in the morning. i just worry about my dog licking it up when we are in the garage working, he is a very curious fella.

Funny thing I guess.. last week the GX is in the driveway and I notice near muffler area puddle of water. For a half second I go.. WTH is dripping there.. then quickly compute... yeah.. that is the rear evaporator drain. I hadn't really paid attention to that in the past.

That is one beefy frame. At least at that section.
