Car leaking a pretty large amount of clear fluid
I have a 98 Es300. Today I noticed a puddle under my car. I know that my ac compressor has a leak. But this was a pretty large leak. Here's a picture (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/706/imagegju.jpg). The liquid is clear. I can rule out power steering because my power steering is reddish orange. I'm mostly really worried it could be brake fluid. I checked the brake master cylinder and it was full. The leak is in the center, closer to the front. Any ideas on what it could be?

Sine you are in Florida, and assuming that your AC is working, than its most likely condensate water from the AC system. This is normal and is a good thing.
The only other thing that I can think of is the windshield washer fluid leaking out.
Any other fluid would be easily identifiable. This assuming of course that you have antifreeze in your radiator and not just plain water.

Thanks for your input. I brought the car to the mechanic. Spent 630$ to fix the power steering leak. They said that's all that was leaking, besides a small leak in the air compressor.
But my car is still leaking. I guess it must be ac. It only leaks when I park the car right after I drive it. It doesn't leak when the car is just sitting there for hours.
