Question Leaking a liquid????.........

Uhmm.....this is really baffling me to no end!!! I need some opinions on what it could be!!! First of all, I noticed a trail of a "liquid" substance from the garage down in the driveway the past week or so. Thought well, it's probably just condensation from the A/C. So then I keep the air off for the past couple of days (only having the windows down)!! But the "liquid" has still been appearing in the driveway. So I have the S/O slowly back it out to see where the dripping is coming from and it's on the driver's side (??????) probably a good 30inches from the front of the car. I did the ol' touch and smell (not daring enough to taste )....and it's not antifreeze or oil for sure. I'm still concerned though because I know the only water through the runner is from the A/C and condensation. Every other liquid is colored or has a thick substance. This LOOKS almost like water but is not clear enough. Any suggestions as to what the heck this could be or if I'm just being paranoid over nothing?!!!!! Thanks!

Could it possibly be washer fluid? Check the level and the area around the reservoir. Might have a crack in one of the tubes or the reservoir or pump.

Get a white paper towel. Must be really white. Blot up some of the mystery fluid. Then get samples of all your liquids, coolant, motor oil, transmission fluid, washer fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid. Did I miss any? The color match, or mismatch, should help greatly in identification.
