Thanks for the idea, but no, this is not a/c condensate water, it sat
on the floor without drying up for more than a day which is what drew
my attention to it. It's a clear fluid (like water) but it's like a
light oil in consistency. I'll check the power steering reservoir, as
Mr. Plowman suggested, once I figure out where it is. It's not listed
in the drivers' handbook...
