Help figuring out drip from drivers side front

In the past couple days I've noticed a small puddle under my car after driving it...it is forward of the front drivers side tire literally right under where there are nice big openings on the Black Series. It is clear water, no smell but does feel slightly slippery???? Is that where the AC evap/condenser is?? That is what I am hoping but I have not had this before as the mark on my garage floor is new.... I tried to search for a diagram of the cooling and AC systems but came up with zilch (I probably just suck at the internet)....and help/ideas are welcome. Guess I will be pulling it up the rhino ramps tomorrow and taking off the shroud under there and trying to find the source.
TIA

It's amost certainly from the a/c as you suspect. The odd thing I've noticed also is that slightly slippery feel to the liquid...always makes me think it might be brake fluid which it never is.

Hmmmm.....That could be it. It certainly is right there....But damn, the friggin car is a year old with only 4500 miles on it! Hell I've never even used the wiper fluid living here in Phoenix!!! I'll have to get up into that corner from beneath tomorrow and see what I can find. Thanks for the idea!
