Welcome to TDP

That drain tube is designed to keep any fuel or ??? from dripping into the clutch.

Its coming down through from the valley. (That drain originates at the rear end of the valley.)

You have something leaking coolant down into the valley area. Either a heater hose, a rear crossover blockoff, coolant crossover up front leaking down into the valley or ???

Look into the valley and go from there.

If your lucky you will spot it easily and be able to rectify it without major issue.
