Exclamation Car is leaking!

Yeah, well I've noticed over the past couple weeks that there have been puddles left behind when I move my car. I'm not sure what's leaking so I'm hoping I can get some help. It's on the front driver's side, kind of under the front bumper, and is clearish (can't reall tell what color, because it drys up). So any answers will be helpful.

Thanks

That was my first thought, but I rarely use the air, last time was maybe 2 months ago...and it stains the cement

Windshield washer fluid?

Just thinking of other liquids in the car, I don't think the powersteering fluid evaporates that quickly so it's either coolant, washer fluid, or AC (have you used the defogger?).

I had a yellow liquid accumulating by my drivers rear tire. I sopped it up with a paper towel and put it in a zip lock, to keep it wet, and took it to the dealers. Had the service manager and a couple of the mechanics stick thier nose in the bag and take a hoot to see if they could identify it by its smell. No one could. A couple of days later I figured it out. My Labrador Retriever was pissing on the tire!

I never let the guys at the dealership in on this, so please keep it between you and me!

Sorry if this doesn't help, but ask your wife if she's putting the dog in the garage when you're at work. This might be the source of your "leak".
