Noob question on 96FZJ80

I know I should know what this is, but I noticed I was loosing coolant, isolated it to when I use the A/C, but never really found any puddles, until today. Can someone tell me what this is (with the red circle) and why it might be leaking?

I know search is my friend and I will do that when I get home, but posting his from my handset.

Thanks,
Phil

Nevermind

Nevermind guys/gals. Now that I am in the office and am thinking about this, I think it is condensation that I was seeing dripping. Seems to all make sense now that I am not on the side of the road. Sorry for the waste of a post.

The saga continues to find the leak though. So, if anyone has any suggestion, I am all ears.

Thanks,
Phil

Your are correct Phil. That is the location for the AC Drain.

If you are loosing coolant and not seeing the leak, check your rear heater lines under the passenger side. I had a similar issue and thats where I was leak from a severly rusted line.

Thanks guys, I hadn't thought of that. Ok, here's a twist, I have only noticed losing coolant/water when I run the A/C. I never run it, so my coolant level has always been fine. I ran the A/C about a month ago, when the and I took the little one to the zoo. Not much cold air coming out, so a couple days later I charged the A/C and noticed nothing in the overflow tank. It's been good for a couple of days, ran the A/C again last night and then this morning, low fluid in the overflow tank.

Thanks,
Phil
