This is after drilling holes in the bumper... Down in the simulated mesh.
To confirm, we're talking about the passenger side?
That could be the windshield washer reservoir that you drilled into.
Your washer fluid may still work since the hole is not at the very bottom.
Fill the washer fluid and see if the leaking starts again.

I never realized you drilled the holes in your mesh on the front bumper.
Check if all is working okay after driving it and your AC works and your winshield washer fluid is up and your coolant resevoir is at the normal level.
You said after driving it, it does not leak there anymore.
I can suggest one reason and this happened to me years ago. I had a vehicle and it would drip at the rear corner very slowly. I finally drilled a small hole underneathe into the panel. About a gallon of dirty water poured out. Apparently the water would gradually leak in there and was trapped, it couldn't drain anywheres.
Maybe there was water trapped in a cavity there, the same as what happened to me years ago.

Thanks for the help. My windshield wiper fluid works well. Is passenger side and it looks like the AC works fine. The fluid that came out is clear/water like. So I have confirmed w/ other g35 drivers in my area that it cannot be coolant or transmission fluid. thank god!

Just to clarify, my question wasn't if the windshield washer worked or not.
If you did put a hole in the washer tank, it may be half way up, meaning that the washer still works but a hole may be present.
Fill the tank to the top and be sure that no water leaks out.

I know the tank is there for good reason.
When I hit the coyote, it was with my passenger front corner, which caused a crack in the front bumper.
I noticed that night that I was out of washer fluid. Thinking nothing of it, I popped the hood and poured a gallon of washer fluid into the tank and found my feet starting to feel cold and wet.
I looked down and it was pouring all over my feet. The reservior is right there in the front corner, just behind the bumper.
There's a very good chance that you popped a hole into it half way down, causing half the fluid to leak out. There is still fuild there so your washer works, but it's no longer leaking cause the water level is below the hole.
Top it off, see what hapens.
