Default Water dripping from Accord 1994

Hi everyone, I'm very glad to have found this forum. I need help from you experts! Not sure if this is the right place for this kind of question so please forgive me if it isn't.

My accord 1994 is dripping water - I've looked at posts and they only talk about ones that are from the front of the car (e.g., under the driver's and the passenger seat). My problem is that it is leaking water from the back of the car, just a few inches from the number plate. I'm positive that it is just water. I've put white paper underneath - no colour, no smell. Tried it with a aluminium foil - no smell, not sticky, no colour. I haven't felt any problems with its performance either.

I'm assuming (hopefully) that it is just rain water coming out. I've looked underneath the car - and it's coming out of a little hole - a hole which seems like it's meant to be there - not some sort of damage.
I'm totally confused, and worried.

This car has an emotional value and I know it's getting old but I want to maximise my time with it.. but I guess I will have to let it go if staying with it means a threat to my safety...!!

SO please help and please say that it's no problem..

If it's on the same side as your antenna, I'd guess it's draining from there. They do have drains so water doesn't accumulate in the assembly. I wouldn't think it would be a constant thing, but if it only happens after you've been out in the rain, I'd say you've got nothing to worry about.

A/c drain tube is under the car for the condensation.

AC drain tube is up front, basically at the bottom of the firewall.

Overnight parked outside where dew collects on everything??? Maybe just condensation that's dripping off?

Does your car have a sunroof?

first thing ,, a silly question do you carry any water containers in the trunk ???if not... open up the trunk, lift the carpet and see if there is any water accumulated there ,,,,,,there should be no water or any sigh of water being there inside the trunk......if there is ...I would start by replacing the tail lights assembly seals,,,,,,, there is a write up in the DIY section that will walk you right through it
