weird puddle...
So anyone got a clue what this is? Drove it today, wasn’t there… it’s not wet outside or raining…. It was a bit wet last time I drove it but it just started today… seems like just water?

Yes, it hides behind the front bumper/in front of the right wheel. Throw a paper towel over the puddle and see what color the fluid is that soaked up.

Can't tell how much further under the car the puddle goes, but placement is about right for the AC drain if that puddle goes over towards the center of the car/trans area...
If it's clear clean water, then my vote is AC condensation Just touch it with a finger and take a look & sniff. Should be able to decide easy enough...

AC condensation comes down more towards the center of the car. Thats most likely the windshield washer tank leak or even the coolabt expansion tank too. I replaced mine due to a leak around it.

Yeah, my reservoir kept getting low. I had orange washer fluid and that’s how I knew after there was an orange like puddle from that area. It’s not too bad of a fix. Plenty of diy videos. Pulling out the reservoir is a bit finnicky, but easy to get back in.
