Default Liquid Under Car

Hey guys, was hoping someone could help me diagnose / figure out if I need to worry about this:



I usually see liquid about like this when I park my car in my driveway for a little while to work on it, and then pull it into the garage. The car wasn't really on for any length of time, other than to move it back into the garage. Touching the liquid - it's clear, and I'll admit I tasted it too, didn't really have any taste.

Is this just water from the AC? Like I said, the car was really only turned on for three minutes or so, but the AC is set to auto so it kind of blasted for those few minutes.

Kind of towards the center of the car if that helps.

If it's right under the rear of the car, it's coolant. If it's toward the front-middle of the car, it's AC condensation. In the latter case, no worries.

I think this must be it, being that it's clear and tasteless

Sounds like a coolant leak .... Get your **** under the car and have a look , also check the coolant expansion tank .

Thanks -- coolant expansion tank looks OK, nothing I can see and the level is the same as I remember (recently had coolant flushed, maybe a month ago). Would I see liquid in the garage from the car sitting? It doesn't do that; only when I am moving it.
