Brake fluid or clutch front reservoir (i.e. brake fluid or Pentosin CHF11S.)

Take the plastic trim off from around the battery in the front trunk. Look for the front reservoir. My guess is it is the latter.

checked reservoir and the pentosin level is right in the middle. No leaks below the car. I drove it on Wednesday and everything seemed fine
I took a pic it seems to be only below the compressor

Maybe there was some sort of oil in the small compressor that leaked out? Just a thought..

That was my first thought. I'll drive around and leave the compressor home to see what happens
