can someone identify this leak?

[idiosyncratic]

Hi -

After having my CS 05 parked for 3 days in an inside garage in the cold of Wisconsin and driving ~25 miles home, I noticed a blueish leak from the front driver side, it seems dripping from the front of the tire flap and was sort of an icy ocean blue mix .. there was also a fairly large puddle on the garage floor a little left of the front driver wheels and about 1 foot inside of the front bumper.

The liquid has a clear blue color to it but is very watery and has no smell to it (pic below) .. what could it be? I am thinking either the washer fluid or the pentosin P/S fluid or the dreaded coolant??

I checked all fluid levels and everything is the same as before and there are no warning msgs ... also, I did fill up the P/S fluid a few weeks back (and slightly over filled above the max mark!!), I also have PASM

anyone saw something like this before??

The color is correct for washer fluid but I have never seen it jell like that! Perhaps you ran over somthing and kicked it up into the wheel well?

remove right (headlight, you can see if the filling spout has become detached

I'm eating some jello now and that looks like blueberry. It's gotta be windshield washer fluid, but the conjealed globs are weird stuff.

On second thought, maybe its really cold where you are and some leaked washer fluid mixed with some ice that got kicked up while driving, like the other guy said, and then dripped back down???

yeah, it was very cold here when it was parked in an indoor open garage but i didn't run over anything and the roads were clear of snow/ice ... so yeah, the globs seem to be still a mystery but good to know its just the washer fluid and i'm guessing that it can be left as it is without much bother and some occasional leak !

The leak is from the head light washer and every winter we see this fault. It always leaks from the left side in the cold weather.
