Looks more like oil. Have you change your engine oil lately? Your front axel looks to have oil one the top.

It's not oil because I wiped some off and it was clear, with no smell.

Could be compressor oil or power steering fluid. You can check the power steering level and have the a/c leack check to rule them out.

Well that rules out Bigfoot guts.


Clear huh?
Not an oil, clear with no smell? Strange.

Is it leaking inside aswell...? More specifically, under the glove box? If it is you may have the problem I had. I had water gathering in my hvac housing.

I only get water inside the Jeep under the glove box after it rains.. So I guess that rules me out of that problem
