How big is the puddle? Is it completely clear? It wouldn't be coolant (normally), definately not oil..

Have you checked your Power Steering fluid/brake/clutch fluid??

There are various vent tubes to remove any moisture, etc.. from different areas of your car like headlights, battery, fog lights, etc... I can't think of much else..

it looks just like a drain tube... but the op said it smells like nail varnish remover.. weird...

Do you have ABS?

not sure what it is but its def a drain tube had the same thing on my ex... may very well be the sunroof... the smell may just be some collected resin in the tubing while the clear liquid(probably water) runs through the tubes

How long have you had this problem? Does it happen all the time? Or on just certain occasions?

no it just started a week ago.its getting warm outside and havent started my car up so it might just be with all the warm temp here might just be extra moister when it was sitting in my garage for the winter.i hope

Ignite it with a flame, see if it's combustible. LOL

^ probably not a bad idea....that will make it easier to tell for sure what it is.

Does this not scream gasoline to anyone but me?

ballinboosi

if it's gas I would hope you could tell the smell, have you checked all your fluids?
brakes ect? If they are all good I would agree and just say it's a drain from sittin all winter.

b18b1turbo

yeah i check all the fluids...im gonna wait a week or so and see if its gone or something

btk2334

dont think it is gasoline... pretty sure it is that little drain tube in the picture b/c i had a similar problem in my 99 ex and seemed like it was comin from there mine didnt smell tho
