    Not really sure if this is just water dripping from the AC after the truck has shut off or if it’s something else and I need to take it into the shop. It’s coming from the small plastic piece shown in the attached pic on the passenger side front.

    Looks like dirty water to me.

    While it’s possible it is oil, going off the picture, it doesn’t look like a typical oil leak patter.
    That looks as if what ever it is, is leaking “fast”. Just like water from an A/C.

    Stick your finger in it, and oils is slick. Water isn’t.
    You’ll know pretty quick.
