Default Help: Leak???

While my truck is running, I got out a noticed (saw & heard) a leak under the truck. See pictures below. It's in the front of the truck, and the fluid looks clear- like water. Any idea what this is from? I'm hoping its just water condensed off the a/c hardware. Please advice....

Is your A/C on while you notice this "leak"?

It's just water from your A/C system then, no worries.

Could be muffler bearings, they leak sometimes. Or if ur out of blinker fluid, check the reservoir.

What blinker fluid and filter do you guys use? And how often do you change it? Is it ok to use synthetic blinker fluid in these trucks?

My guess it is the muffler bearings going south.
Seriously, wait until morning. If it is has evaporated then it came from the AC. All cars do that.

Next time just dip your finger in it and feel and smell. Would have taken you two seconds to figure it out.

I'm doing the blinker fluid change in the morning. I use Royal Pupil. Changing the air in the tires too.
