    Occasionally I've noticed a small leak on the ground after driving and being parked for a while (mainly like after I get to work, etc.) I've checked all the fluids over and over and everything is normal, but this still bugs me. I find the drips on the passenger side right behind the front tire (see pics below) The only thing I can think of is that maybe its coming from this hose coming out of the firewall (see pic with red arrow). If so, is this some type of release valve from A/C or heater condensation?
    Thanks for your input

    I am compelled to touch and smell every new fluid below my vehicles or my friends/family's vehicles. You can quickly and confidently tell if something is oil v water v coolant. I have been fooled by water many times but no harm in checking!
