Unknown Leak

[alanera]

Good afternoon fellow enthusiasts,

I just took my car out of the garage for a wash after it’s been sitting for about a week. I noticed a small wet spot on the garage floor, roughly 2 inches by 2 inches, located near the center of the vehicle. I should have taken a picture, but I wiped it up before I thought to post about it on the forums.

The liquid is clear and looks a bit dirty, but there’s no odor or oily feel to it, so it doesn’t seem like oil, transmission fluid, or anything of that sort. It almost looks like just dirty water, and I’m wondering if it could be condensation from the exhaust? What strikes me as odd is that the fluid is still there after the car has been sitting for a week.

Has anyone else encountered something similar?

The car has 1,300 miles on it and is driven about once or twice a month for semi-long distances (100+ miles), with very little city driving. I’m still babying it for the most part—keeping it under 4k RPM but driving somewhat aggressively at times.

Thanks in advance!

I'd put a white mat under the car in the area of the drip spot to ensure there's no color, even if it's very light. Also easier to check the inspect the viscosity that way.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give it a try
