    Anybody have any clue what this could be? Tried looking it up but no success…
    400 mile 2021..it’s coming from the passenger side so I was thinking it was just water from the AC but it seems to have an greasy texture to it. It doesn’t smell or anything and it’s clear not dark (just looks dark on the concrete) so I’m a little confused.
    All those spots are from different days, not at all once.

    My 2021 was leaking on the passenger side the next day after i bought it. Turns out it was coolant from the heater core. And the heater core had to be replaced

    Tried smelling it? Oil and coolant have pretty distinct odors.

    place a sheet of white paper under the truck after you run it in the area where you think the leak is. The color of the fluid will be easier to see and identify. And you can take that paper with you when make your dealer appt to check it out if it is anything other than runoff from the AC.

    I placed some cardboard under there and it looked clear with maybe a tiny bit of brown..but that looked like it was just the water or whatever it was seeping through the white cardboard to the underneath brown color. It almost looks like water from the AC and there is grease or something from under the truck that it’s hitting before it hits the ground

    Was the truck under coated? Maybe it’s just some oily residue as the ac condensation drips down....

    It had a tint of pink. Couldnt tell from the spots on the floor but a droplet was hanging from the frame and that had the pink color

    No undercoat but that’s what it looks like…like residue that the water is making contact with.
    I just want to make sure lol

    I dont recall but it did feel kinda oily. Open up your front pasanger door and pop open the plastic covering on the bottom that covers the wires. If you find fluid in there then most likely thats what it is. 20210605_150033.jpg
