after i had my drivers side jacked up for a while today i had a pretty drippy leak coming down... and even after i dropped it and went for a drive i was at CVS for like 5 mins came out and was a nice puddle dripping down the driveway

its coming from about the middle of the engine, maybe slightly towards the passenger side, about right above where the sway bar is..... the whole underbody is wet with something.. axle/control arm/sway is all glossy wet (always has been really)..

did not examine the liquid at all so i cant say smell or anything..

try to get a sample of the fluid, and figure out what color it is.

Wipe the area with your fingers and slide your fingers together... is it slippery like oil?

Now smell your fingers... smell like antifreeze?

What colour is it? ...similar to your antifreeze or oil?

Just speculating here... could be your water pump.
