    It's either drains under wiper cowl, are partially clogged, or it's from your ac drain.

    Looks like A/C condensate drain. Keep in mind A/C runs whenever you have the blower on the demist setting. Open the hood and look down the firewall on the passenger side. There should be a ~3" long hose sticking out. Could also be wiper cowl (which just drains from each side).

    Thanks everyone I’ll look at both the AC line and wiper cowl. I know I probably have leaves and stuff around cowl

    Check A/C first. I have had to remove cowl cover, almost every year to clean debris out from under it.

    If you haven’t extended your ac drain yet you might consider doing so. It is easy and stops the dripping on the frame.

    i can tell these cowls on this truck are like a leaf magnet. I can pull out a handful of those maple tree whirly birds from under there on most any given day in the fall till winter.
