Default Unkown drainage

My 2010 Malibu 2.4L is leaking beneath the right passenger door. It's started doing so about a week ago, and I cant pinpoint exactly why its leaking. The floorboards are dry so there's no leakage in the car.

I forgot to mention that the leakage/drainage is at the rear. And there's an identical drain or whatever it is on the driver's side as well, but that side isnt leaking. It's driving me nuts haha. I dont know what it is nor its purpose. I think it might be part of the drain system of the sunroof but its too close to the middle of the car, and I dont think the A/C drains through there either.

I would have said normal a/c condensate drain. How long have you owned the car?

I've owned the car for 5 months now. I thought it was a/c drain at first, but why would the a/c have 3 different drains? Doesn't really make sense.

How bout blowing some compressed air (not too hi pressure) into the holes and see where it comes out? Keep in mind I'm left handed and we tend to do things kind of different sometimes!!

Haha actually, I did that to the sunroof of my old 2000 Maxima to both the exit and beginning of the drains. I'm taking the car to the dealer next week to get the oil changed. I would do it myself but I wanna ask them what is that drain looking thing supposed to be.
