Default Mysterious Puddle Under Front End

Hey All,

I'm not really tech savy when it comes to the engines and stuff but I noticed the other day a small puddle under the front of my car. I can't figure out what it is. It doesn't smell like anything and it's not thick. Any ideas on what it could be? Pic blow shows the spot on the parking lot.

I thought that, but it's cold now so I'm not using the AC. Maybe from the frost?

Isn't the washer fluid reservoir on that side? You add any recently or maybe cap was loose?

Aside from it being water. You'd certainly smell antifreeze, or most things for that matter.

I did smell it and it didn't smell like anything but the stain on the ashphalt doesn't go away, it's still there. I parked in 3 different spots for three different days last week and they all now have a spot in the same place. The spots weren't there before.

I have not put washer fluid in the car in about a month and the cap is on yes, that was the 1st thing I checked. The spot is just to the right of where the washer bottle is. I'm starting to think it may have a small hole or crack in it.
