I have had a wet spot under my fridge on baseboard carpet (Vertical) as well as on the floor. The spot on the floor is 5" by 5". I cant get to the source. I've removed the fridge and no luck. I have not been able to locate a condensate tube. I'm sure it would go to the shower pump box.
 
I have removed and replaced the frig in my 310. I did not find any drain tube. I have also replaced my shower sump, and the only input lines are from the shower and A/C condensate. What you describe sounds like condensate puddling in the bottom of the frig and leaking out past the bottom of the door seal. Mine is always on, so the layer of ice around the coils just stays solid until a planned cleaning.
 
The condensation I get on my floor comes from inside the fridge. My solution, which worked like a charm, was to use plyers to bend the bottom latch into a position where it was functional. We have to use our feet to push in a little while latching it because it holds the door tightly against the frame. This has stopped the condensation from dripping onto the floor.

I was just mentioning to my wife yesterday that the cabin fridge hasn't needed defrosting since I did that. The cockpit one needs it a lot. It has rust on the black trim around it preventing the rubber gasket from getting a good seal. This causes it to frost up.
 
Check your galley sink water connections. I had this on my 330 and it was showing up back near the fridge. Good luck!
