Default Mystery Leak

I don't have any of my books with me, left them at my parents' where I am heading this weekend, but I noticed a leak under my car that I can't place, nor can I tell what it is. Seems to be clear without a smell...

That circle in the middle of the picture is the culprit, anyone have an idea what I'm looking at? Before I check out my books and the car on jack stands.



For point of reference, that is my ZZP Downpipe in the photo and that is my Catalytic Converter.

Thats a drain plug for the floorboards incase they ever fill with water for some reason. I assume I am looking at the drivers side. I would pull back your carpet if possible and see if any water is standing, tho your carpet would probably be wet if there was.

I'm thinking it might be a drain plug for something, and it seems to be only water, but still. It's something I noticed and want the answer too lol

Are you sure its actually leaking out of there or is water just collecting on the floor pans and dripping from the plug? Those shouldnt leak water even if the floor boards were FULL of water. How much of a puddle are you getting underneath that spot?

Water is definitely dripping from the plug, I couldn't tell you the amount but it was a pretty steady drip while I was taking the picture and touching the liquid to smell it.

They are designed to be pushed up into the floor boards so you would have to have the carpet pulled up to pop it out.
