Coolant tank overflow drain I bet. Pour a little water on the top of the coolant tank - Not in the tank, but by the side of the cap. I bet it flows out that tube.

Roof drain tubes go down in front of the rear fenders, then come out at the bottom of the fender, forward of the wheel.

So I guess that means I have too much coolant in my system? My level reads en between min/max

Maybe. Is it hotter or did you drive harder today than normally?
Maybe the cap, maybe the bleeder valve, maybe the tank. I'm betting on just a little excess bleeding out from heat/driving.

Read through this:
HELP! Big coolant leak!!
