My Z is leaking but I can't figure out what kind of liquid it is

Any one know what kind of liquid this is by any chance. I just moved to PA from Chicago and I dont have any tools with me i cant get up under it to look. This has me freaking out. The car has been sitting inside all winter.

Any smell to it? Looks like water to me, could it be coming from a leak in the building?

Looks like water... does it have a smell or certain feeling b/w your fingers that is different from water? It looks clear on my PC screen and I don't believe they used many clear liquids in the car

The liquid has a blueish hue to it doesn't really smell nor does it have any kind oil based consistency. I thought it was windshield washer fluid because it does look and feel like it but it has no smell and I looked my wiper fluid resivour is full. I'm stumped. I'm afraid to use the car if it is related to the car I dont want make matter worse by using it.

What about the coolant level for the supercharger cooler? I know color is off but only other thing I can think of.

From the stain on the concrete, it looks like the same pattern has been on the floor before. Hard to say from just looking at the pic, but perhaps it's coming from somewhere like a backed-up floor drain or something similar. Where in PA are you located?

I'm in Pittsburgh. I haven't checked the SC coolant but isn't this alot of liquid for it to be SC coolant? The pooling seems to be coming from the back under the front of the car its dry. I'll check the SC coolant after work

There is nothing on the back of car that would leak a clear water like fluid... if there is nothing under the front of the car, it is not car related

That much fluid all you would have to do is open the hood, look at the mess in the engine bay

I had never seen this liquid before until now freaked me out. Just when my extended warranty expired.

I agree on the coolant I doubt it's that from the amount and color just wanted to make sure its checked. Again my first thought is leak in building or like mentioned clogged drain.

Way I check fluids, If its in the rear it stinks, if its in the front its oily. lol. Since your's is clear I'd only say meth or washer fluid but its neither so I'd just move car, mop it up and see if it returns.
