Jim,
You are right! The leak is somewhere from the right front drain hole in
the sunroof to where the windshield pillar meets the top of the console. I
poured a pint of water into the drain hole, almost immediately it drained from
the bottom of the wheel wheel. But in addition it started dripping from the
side of he console. There is no pooling of water in the sunroof area. I
opened up the side of the dash console via a plastic cover that is hidden when
the passenger's door is closed.
I am probably not making myself clear so I attached a picture which
shows where it is dripping. The dripping continues for about 15 seconds and
stops.
Now that I know generally where the leak is coming from any instructions
(with pictures) on how to access the area and what to repair.

My vote then is for a problem with the drain hose right where it
joins the sunroof. Either pushed off, or split. I've seen a lot
of split drain hoses on the HVAC boxes, maybe this happens on the
sunroofs too?
