Something is leaking?

Whats it taste like?

 

Did you recently get your truck sprayed? Fluid film, krown etc.

 

Was a Honda Ridgeline parked there earlier?

 

Did you do a running board fluid change recently? Maybe the drain bolt is loose.

 

Must be first photo evidence of the mythical blinker fluid.

 

That is not from your truck, if that is exactly where you always park.

 

Check insides of wheels and your power steering fluid levels. Also check that a brake line isn't cut. With that much fluid it's likely that something looks a little low.

 

If it taste like peanuts with a hint of metal, it's brake fluid. If it taste bitter with a kick of mollases, it's engine oil. If it taste pungent and sticks to the roof of your mouth, it's transmission fluid.

 

I have a buddy who is an engineer for D-land and he deals with vendors often. One day he's in a vendors warehouse and there's a bucket of liquid on the ground and my buddy bumps it and asks what's inside. The vendor scoops one hand in, comes up full and he takes a good sip...waits a second swishing it around, swallows and says "jet fuel, tastes sweet" offers to my buddy and sure enough it was sweet. Grease monkey level 10.

 

My grandpa used to dip a finger into pools of mystery oil and do a taste test and know exactly what was up. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
