Could be the heater core hoses connected right at the firewall or heater core itself leaking down.

Heater core is bad. ............ common

There is a drain hole for it on your firewall for it.
Thats what you're seeing.

Have fun changing that $50 part

You need to replace the Heater Core
When it goes bad and starts leaking, thats its drain.

You are losing coolant too, so watch for engine over heating.

Make sure you use a Motorcraft quality core.
You have to remove dash to get to it.
