    In the last couple months I have taken a couple road trips. These trips were about 380 miles mostly along highways and about 6-7 hours of driving. Towards the end of these trips I have noticed on the passenger side of the truck from under the glovebox has started dripping some liquid onto the floorboard. It isn't a significant amount and it has never happened on short drives but I am unable find the location nor do I have a clue why it is doing this.

    The truck is a 21' OR DC.

    If it's water it's probably the AC. Take it to the dealer.

    Were you running the AC? The drip lines could be plugged and the condensation could be dripping into the cab. That happened on my old 05 Nissan Frontier.

    I was thinking its dripping from the AC but I have never encountered anything like that. Defiantly not coming from the Sunroof.

    If the Sunroof drain is clogged that could be it as well

    How would I check to see if the drain if clogged? I don't know where it is located.

    Not sure if they run down the pillars of the windshield or not?

    I guess I should add that I did not encounter and rain or anything that would lead me to believe it was a leak coming from the outside

    To be honest I don't really have a clue. One thing I have noticed is that water will collect out of the air on cold surfaces (for example a cold beverage needs a coaster to keep water off the table). Maybe something under the dash gets cold and starts dripping after extended periods of air conditioner use.
