you sure it's not AC condensation?

condensation from your air conditioner matrix. If so, perfectly normal and it shows your AC is working ok !
If it's not the above - what color / viscosity is the fluid ?

its not completely clear and has a oily lustre to it. ill drive without the ac on for a day and see if it still drips. thanks y'all

if this 'drip' is normal for all ml's, should i be worried about future rust damage?

I had the same problem with my previous ML. After visiting the dealer 3 times finally I myself found out that it was the water reservoir for windshield washer was leaking. Just go with your hand under the water reservoir and see if it is wet.

passenger side not the drivers, already had the washer tank replaced

163,
check your battery, it could be leaking, i had that problem on my OEM battery, but it was too late when I found out that leak was from my battery vent. If its leaking have the dealer replace it ASAP, before it ruin your inner fender. It was too late on mine[:(][:(]so I had to take the whole tray and repainted it again.

your is still cover with warranty
