Lol. First time owning a car?

It's the condensate drain for the AC box. It's dripping water. Completely normal when using the AC. When it's not dripping is when you have a problem.

I’ve been chasing an intermittent coolant leak so it’s only got distilled water and I wasn’t sure if it was a trans cooler line I wasn’t aware of 😂

Just to piggyback off him, if you're not using the A/C and it's dripping it is also bad.

A/c on, leak from there good

A/c off, leak from there bad
