What is this?
My wife called me at work and said there was a stain on the garage floor. I was in the garage that night. It would have been toward the back of my car. What drips from the rear of the car? It'* definitely not reddish, it is transluscent,(notice the edge) It can't be oil.. I am stumpted. :?
EDIT: it was about 4 inches in dia.
Any ideas??...It hadn't rained recently either..I really think the car was dry underneath. :? <(Theme to Jeapordy in the background)>
First drip on the new floor BTW :?

Just looking at the viscosity of the fluid, I think it could be mud... was it raining the previous night? Oh, and I think a wife that calls you to tell you that there'* a puddle in the garage is a winner, man, haha

Looks to me like oil out of an exhuast system, mixed with a bit of moisture obviously. I went and looked at an Integra the other day and it looked exactly like that dripping out the muffler, and then the owner told me it was burning oil. Looks exactly the same (although his had more).

Another random thought...I'm by no means a muffler/exhaust expert but could it be something with carbon deposits and water from the muffler/exhaust that somehow built up and spilled out?
