Probably from the middle, due to gravity. But I haven't seen a diagram of his particular tear duct setup. With an eyeball that large, I would assume many to keep it lubricated.

More specific studies are needed.

Tears come from the lacrimal glands. They drain through tear ducts into the nose. That’s why your nose runs when you have watery eyes.

Interesting. I wonder how that works in Mike, as he doesn't have a nose. Or does he? V sauce noises

If he has tear ducts, they’d probably empty into his mouth.

It doesn't seem like he has any tear ducts. So he doesn't cry at all. Not all creatures do.

Yeah iirc there were moments in the movies where a person would cry but he never cried
