Default Dubbleyoo tee eff is this: Curious liquid identification

Found this in the ol' driveway after getting up to go to class one morning. The first (larger) puddle was a product of sitting overnight. The second puddle arrived after i had returned, having driven it for approximately 10 miles, then letting it sit for 3-4 hours. The driveway is wet, as it had rained during the night.

I'm thinking coolant? Or does it not get all rainbow-huey like that...

First pic of overnight blob: (foot included as a size reference...)

I was thinking more like Albert Hoffman, but I can definitely see where you would get Jesus

Oh yeah and my fluid levels are fine. So it's fabricating itself, and then falling on the floor

That would be my guess. Does it smell? Or light on fire (when not wet, of course)?

Default The only fluids that ever leaked from my car were...

...coolant, and transmission fluid. The tranny fluid is darker than that, and coolant leaves a white residue everywhere.

I have to agree with fuel. Which is a little scary actually.
