Hi, I'm one of the auto experts on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Great question, and the details you've provided are really helpful! On your 2013 Suzuki SX4 clear fluid dripping inside the cabin on the passenger side combined with a hissing sound during turns points strongly toward a leaking heater core or a clogged AC evaporator drain. If the fluid has a slightly sweet smell it is almost certainly coolant from a failing heater core, which is a more serious issue that should be addressed promptly as coolant inside the cabin can be a health hazard and cause significant interior damage. If there is truly no smell at all it could be condensation from the AC evaporator drain that has become clogged and is backing up into the cabin instead of draining outside the vehicle. Either way this is something that should be inspected by a qualified shop soon, as a leaking heater core in particular can worsen quickly and lead to more extensive and costly repairs if left unaddressed.
