I took yall's advice and got the new RAV4 xle. I got it Friday and put 60 miles on it so far. I parked my car and twice (once on Friday and today) I noticed drippings coming from under the right front side of the car. I think it is just water, but it also did not rain. Is this something to be worried about? This is my first car so I don't know better.
Here is a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zyaB92ysNd0
Did you run the air conditioner? If so, it's more than likely just condensation coming from the evaporator.
I was running the a/c. I did not know it would leak like that because of an a/c.
Chilled air holds less water vapor, hence your sweat cools you off, faster. Have you ever been outside on a muggy morning? There's a lot of water vapor in the air, vs a desert at the same temperature. You air conditioner cooled past the dew point of the air in the car, and there's condensation as a result of it. Try taking a cold beverage into a muggy environment, the can "sweats", because the surface of the can is much colder than the surrounding air. What used to be water vapor is now condensation because of the cold can.

It's not a leak, it's normal condensation.
Ya. I know with the condensation from an ac there would be water. I just did not know the a/c was there in the car. It was also not periodically drippings like I would see off of a window a/c. Thanks for the feedback.
