can some1 identify this leak??
Hi -
After having my CS 05 parked for 3 days in an inside garage in the cold of Wisconsin and driving ~25 miles home, I noticed a blueish leak from the front driver side, it seems dripping from the front of the tire flap and was sort of an icy ocean blue mix .. there was also a fairly large puddle on the garage floor a little left of the front driver wheels and about 1 foot inside of the front bumper.
The liquid has a clear blue color to it but is very watery and has no smell to it (pic below) .. what could it be? I am thinking either the washer fluid or the pentosin P/S fluid or the dreaded coolant??
I checked all fluid levels and everything is the same as before and there are no warning msgs ... also, I did fill up the P/S fluid a few weeks back (and slightly over filled above the max mark!!), I also have PASM
anyone saw something like this before??

^ +1, the headlight washer nozzle assyembly leaks, very common failure. If you pull your fender liner back, you can use a flash light and have a look around. You probably will be able to locate the source of the leak. Oh, and go ahead a change the horn while your in there, if it is not bad yet, it will be soon.
