So, like you said definitely keep your eye on it, regardless of whether there is a TPS report or not.
I definitely agree with this. So make Sure that you observation is noted in your repaired order so you have a record of it. That way, if the WP quits after the warranty expires you can (and should) argue to have it covered. This works often in my experience as a service manager at a dealership.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll keep a close eye on it. My CPO warranty expires in December so I'm gonna get an independent evaluation on the car before that time. Judging by the responses I'm getting though, it seems that this condensation / drip I'm finding is not the norm.

I had a pink residue at the site where you have yellow/gray; dealer pressure tested system for 1.5 hours and concluded all was well and to keep an eye. Nothing has dripped on the garage floor. This residue was found incidentally when a friend was doing a weigh in at his home garage. Damn the targa is a heffer tipping 3500lbs.....interestingly, when targa roof open, it changes the weight distribution dramatically putting another 200lbs on the rears.....
