'20 Expedition Max Limited leaking water
Help! Leaking water in front of back right passenger tire. Right under the passenger seat. It is clear and has no taste or smell. AC hasn’t been on in a couple days. Anyone have any suggestions??

Ok. That actually seems more reasonable for the location of the liquid, than a sunroof. Sunroof leaks tend to be at the front A-pillar.
Clear, no taste or smell - so good chance it's water.
No recent AC use - so good chance it's not a condensation leak.
What "water event" preceded the leak? Heavy rain, driving through puddles, using a high pressure car wash?

So I noticed it dripping on Saturday as soon as I turned it on. The most recent rain prior to that was a complete monsoon on Thursday so two days before. And it was a torrential downpour that I was driving in.
is it odd though that it only dripped when turned on and not when off?

Dripping outside under the truck... on the ground? I thought we were talking about liquid inside the truck.
On the ground, passenger side, rear seat... we could be talking about condensation from the exhaust system. Condensation is a byproduct of combustion.

Could be. You ever notice how much moisture comes out of a tailpipe on a cold morning? Next time you cold start it, see if you notice the water again. If so, stick your head under the side of the truck and see where it's coming from. I'd but there's a small hole (weep hole) at the bottom back of the muffler. The hole keeps water from collecting in the muffler and rotting it from the inside out.

So that seemed to stop dripping. Now it is dripping clear fluid under the front passenger side. Any idea what this would be??
