Default Drip

So as i was backing out of my garage this morning, i noticed a drop following me. Got out of the garage and put the e-brake on to check out what was dripping. It was like a grey-ish color, very thin liquid. As i was squatting down, i saw where it was dripping from under the Heep, it was in an area just behind the Driver side seat. It's a 2008 Sahara with the 6 speed.

I thought maybe it was just water with some dirt or something mixed in, but the roads were dry on my way home from work last night.

Anyone have any ideas what it may be? Thanks

pop the hood and check if you can see anything leaking or dripping down to that area

could be water leaking out of the frame from your last off-road trip. Is it oily or just watery?

I have exhaust condensation leak from that same area where the pipe is clamped together after it has warmed up a little.

yeah when i felt the fluid, it seemed like dirty water. It definitely wasnt oil, because when i rubbed my fingers together the substance went away and didnt leave an oil residue on my fingers.

I'll keep an eye on it and see if it keeps up.

thanks for the replies!
