Had a intermittent "leak" coming from the front of the car. Originally thought it was coolant coming from the RUF bumper install (as it re-does the radiator piping and locations) but I caught it in the act today. It doesn't smell sweet like coolant, but more like detergent/soap. That being said, it is orange which is the color of coolant.
The fluid is actually coming out of the driver side turn signal area. Anyone have any guesses? Would the washer fluid for the headlight pipe run through there and could be leaking? Anyone ever seen this before?
windshield washer fluid would be blue not orange. has to be the drivers side radiator leaking, probably from plastic end tank . time to pull the bumper and fender liner and have a look
The windshield washer fluid I use in my wife's car is orange. Spray it and see if it is.
Brilliant idea - never used my windshield sprayers since i bought the car.
I have orange windshield fluid coming out and it is the same color (and soapy smell) as what was coming out of my fender.
Both times this has occurred I picked the car up from the dealer. I suspect they are topping up the fluid and it's overflowing or a break in the system somewhere that then overflows out of the bumper.

You just saved me 3k!
Awesome. Just PayPal me 500$ ;-)
If it's coming out from the front area it may be where the headlight squirters attach at the line.
Interesting, never heard of orange washer fluid. When I jacked up the right side I had blue fluid leaking just in front of rear wheel. Again windshield washer fluid, to rear wiper.
