Air conditioning 101, you may depending on the dew point of the air where you are, have drops of water from the evap core i.e. condensation. Same as a glass of ice water setting on a hot day.

Also, you may want to return to your dealership (as your still covered by factory warranty) and ask them to see if the drain on the firewall is blocked/clogged. I personally see this issue on a number of vehicles every week at my Chevy dealership. People come in, complaing of a water leak on the pass front floor. This is the first thing we check, and 99.9% of the time, that's the issue.
