Taste it then, alil oil or coolant won't hurt u and u can spit it out. It's in a place where it could be either oil or coolant so.. good luck.

What color is it? How can you not tell what it is? Is it green- its coolant. Clear - water or clean oil, darkish in color - oil... Or tranny fluid which would be slim to non..

i had coolant leak in the exact same spot, looked more like oil right where your arrow is but everywhere else looked like coolant. Replaced all my swollen old coolant lines and the spot has been dry as a bone since. Just make sure to check for all old and worn hoses.

it was actually not green , it was a very clean color, almost like tranny fluid? but I highly doubt that its tranny fluid?
