What could be leaking?
Haven't driven my 92 in 3 days. Went out today and noticed a wet spot underneath. When I looked it was still dripping. Its positioned near the battery area.

Coolant on a dark surface looks clear. If it tastes sweet you may have head gasket leak. My 87 was losing coolant slowly, no white exhaust, nothing on the ground, then one day I got home lifted the hood and saw coolant hitting the exhaust and vaporizing on the hot exhaust. Head gasket, left side by the battery.

Reason I said batt is thats where you pointed the location it was coming from.
And the liquid would be clear considering its filled will water which turns into acid.
Touch it see if it burns
Just kidding 
Good Luck hope its nothing big

Some condensation is normal coming from the exhaust when you start it up. Hope it's not a head gasket.

It could simply be condensation from your A/C.
Here on the Gulf Coast it is so humid that every time I pull into my garage I leave a large puddle on the floor as the condensate drips from the A/C.
If you have a bad head gasket your engine may miss, you might have oil in your coolant, and your oil in your engine may be foamy. Check these items but if you've been running your A/C it's probably just water on the floor.

Not under the battery, unless the floor has some slope and it drained over to there.
Antifreeze is slippery, and doesn't necessary taste sweet. Some brands put bitterant in there now which sucks because now the neighborhood cats don't like it.

You'll see a small ( about 1/2 " ) black hose running in back of the battery. That is the drain from the drivers side cowl. The end has a split, called a duck bill I think that gets clogged up. You can pull out the hose and you'll see the end. Or, dump some water in the cowl and you should see it running out, if not, it may be clogged.
